Sweat

I'm sweating
and breathing
and staring
and thinking
and sinking
deeper
It's almost like I'm swimming

The sun is burning hot again
on the hunter
and the fisherman
and he's trying to remember when
but it makes him dizzy

Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
into a dream within a dream

It's the word you whisper

The sun is setting cool again
I'm a thinker
and a fisherman
and I'm trying to remember when
but it makes me dizzy
and I'm sweating
and breathing
and staring
and thinking
and sinking
deeper
and it's almost like I'm swimming

Seems like I've been here before
seems so familiar
seems like I'm slipping
into a dream within a dream
it's the word you whisper
it drags me under
takes me home

Hush

I can't say what I want to
even if I'm not serious
fuck yourself
fuck yourself
you piece of shit why don't you just go
and kill yourself

I can't say what I want to
even if I'm not serious
I can't say what I want to
even if I'm just kidding

fuck yourself
fuck yourself
you piece of shit
why don't you go fuck yourself

people tell me what to say
what to think
and what to play

just kidding

Part of Me

I know you well
you are a part of me
I know you better than I know myself

I know you best
better than anyone
I know you better than I know myself

you are a part of me
you are just a part of me

you don't judge
you can't speak
you can't leave
you can't hurt me
you're just here for
me to use

I know you well
you are a part of me
I know you better
than I know myself
I know you best
better than anyone
I know you better then I know myself
I know you well
better than one might think
I know you better than I know myself

I know you well
you are a part of me
I know you best
better than anyone
I know you well
you are a part of me
I know you best
better than one might think
it's time for you
to make a sacrifice
it's time to die a little
give it up

I know you well
better than anyone
I know you better than I know myself

a part of me

Cold and Ugly

underneath her skin and jewelry
hidden in her words and eyes
is a wall that's cold and ugly
and she's scared as hell
trembling at the thought of feeling
wide awake and keeping distance
nothing seems to penetrate her
cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too

trimming up the part of feeling(?)
wide awake
and keeping distance
nothing seems to penetrate her
cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too

wide awake and
keeping distance from my soul
wide awake and
keeping distance from my soul

underneath her skin and jewelry
hidden in her words and eyes
is a wall that's cold and ugly
and she's scared as hell
trembling at the thought of feeling
wide awake and keeping distance
nothing seems to penetrate her
so she's scared as hell

I am frightened too
I am scared like you
I am frightened

Jerk-off

someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong
punishment was the cure
for who dare to cross the line

but it must not be true
for jerk-offs just like you
maybe it
takes longer
to catch a
total asshole
I'm tired of waiting

someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong
punishment was the cure
for who dare to cross the line

but it must not be true
for jerk-offs just like you
and maybe it's
just bullshit
I should play GOD
and shoot you myself
tired of waiting

consequences dictate
our course of action
and it doesn't matter what's right
it's only wrong if you get caught
if consequences dictate
my course of action
I should play GOD
and just shoot you myself
tired of waiting

shoot it
kick it
fuck it
shoot you in your fucking head

Opiate

choices always were a problem for you
what you need is someone strong to guide you
deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
what you need is someone strong to guide you
like me
like me

If you want to get your soul to heaven
trust in me
and don't judge or question
You are broken now
but faith can heal you
just do everything I tell you to do
deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
what you need is someone strong to guide you
deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand upon you

my god's will
becomes me
when he speaks
he speaks through me
he has needs
like I do
we both want
to rape you

Jesus Christ
why don't you come save my life now
open my eyes and blind me with your light now
Jesus Christ
why don't you come save my life now
open my eyes and blind me with your light now

if you want to get you soul to heaven
trust in me
now don't you judge or question
you are broken now
but faith can heal you
just do everything I tell you to do

Jesus Christ
why don't you come save my life now
open my eyes and blind me with your light now
Jesus Christ
why don't you come save my life now
open my eyes and blind me with your light now

deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
let me lay my holy hand upon you

my god's will
becomes me
when he speaks
he speaks through me
he has needs
like I do
we both want
to rape you

The Gaping Lotus Experience

(hidden track on the CD version of "Opiate")

I had a friend once
he took some acid
now he thinks he's a fire hydrant
it's okay
until he pisses on your lighter
kinda smells
kinda cool
kinda funny anyway

satan, satan, satan..

I had a friend once
he took some ecstasy
tried to marry me
and everyone in the room
he was sort of loving kinda caring
kinda tried to fuck my lazy-boy
it got a bit messy all over the curtains
arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting

satan, satan, satan..
