I CAN’T KILL MYSELF TODAY
I can’t take it anymore
Sick of waking on the floor
Come and take a walk with me
See how red the sky can be
Yeah well, it sometimes hurts
I should have known you’d never stay
But I can’t kill myself today
I have bills to pay
I can’t kill myself today
No….
Broken angel how you shine
You fit so well inside my mind
You whisper to me dreams untrue
I could never be like you
Yeah well, it sometimes hurts
I should have known you’d never stay
But I can’t kill myself today
I have bills to pay
I can’t kill myself today
I should have known it would end this way
I can’t kill myself today
I have to be at work today
I can’t kill myself today
No…

IN MY BED
Watch you winding thru the years
I’d have killed to lick away your tears
Take away my soul
I loved you like my own
I don’t care what you said
The things you said before you fled
Cuz every night you’re in my bed
You just don’t know it
Oh my little desperate bride
Oh Lolita, raging by my side
Was I too old, too cruel
But I loved you like my own
I did…
I don’t care what you said
The things you said before you fled
Cuz every night you’re in my bed
I don’t care what she said
The thing she said before she fled
Cuz every night she’s in my bed

ANOTHER FUCKED UP BEAUTY QUEEN
Unknown your breath lies inside me
So come on out, just try to find me
And I know that you’d die for me
Sorry love, I still cannot see
Yeah
So come on look at me
Another fucked up beauty queen
If I cannot start again
I will ride it to the end
Crossing lines, I went too far
And now I’ll never know who you really are
Couldn’t you have given just one night to me
When so many others have known your luxury
So come on look at me
Another fucked up beauty queen
If i cannot start again
I will ride it to the end
Oh..
I’m still here, i’m still here, I still breathe, I still feel

HEAD
Nowhere my love I want to be
Could you be lovely, lovely like me?
I feel your light every time I am here
You run the other way when I’m near
Well now it is my time to leave
Can you forgive my plague and disease
Another life, another night
I will be able to touch your light
Please
Take my head
Oh, please
Take my head
Oh please…
Head
Without you I breathe, the night is so clear
I severed my head and I dreamed without fear
This is the closest I’ve been to you
Without my head, i am breaking through
No longer a mess, I’m pretty again
Maybe now you will let me in
And if you would unfold for me
Swear I’d never let you go free
Please
Take my head
Oh, please
Take my head
Oh please…

MY MACHINE
No one is home
I close the blinds
I lay back
And I shut my eyes
Outside my door
Everyone is so mean
But that’s okay
Cuz I got my machine
I take it to bed
I take it work
I take it to the store
I take it to church
Yeah yeah, oh my machine
I take it on the 1
I need it on the 9
I think I need help
It’s taken over my life
Yeah yeah, oh my machine

Oh my head is aching take it
It’s alive but you can’t break it
I feel my life is going
And I don’t know or care
So tell me what are you gonna do
When the sky comes down to you
Tell me what are you gonna do
When the sky comes down to you
The stars are floating down
I knew they’d come for me
My head my heart my hands
Take it all away
So tell me what are you gonna do
When the sky comes down to you
Tell me what are you gonna do
When the sky comes down to you
And my lips are turning blue
And it still comes down to you
Still comes down to you

CORE
Tonight
I let myself fly away
Into
Your core
Your beautiful, beautiful
Core
You see
A curious wind blows
Through these trees
I
Am here
And I don’t ever want to leave
Oh my god it’s happening…
When I can’t forget
I tell myself it’s gonna be
Okay
My love
I promise you it’s gonna be
Okay
Yeah
Just keep those bad thoughts away
Oh my god it’s happening…
