I Am My Own Worst Enemy

Verse 1

Walking down the dark lit street

My body endures the bitter miles

And the darker the night gets

Only more will it fade my smile

You know I'm running from you

Well maybe I'm lost inside my head

Deeper do my thoughts consume me

Filling my mind with words unsaid

So before you lose your mind

There's truth in these words

Chorus

You always told me you were my worst

But I'm my own worst enemy

So before you put yourself down

I am my own worst enemy

Verse 2

Well, do you know how my heart breaks

When you say you're not good enough

I'm the master of making skies grey

Maybe the sun's just had enough

'Cuz I'm walking down this dark lit street

I've only got myself to blame

And you think your actions will hurt

It's my pride that sinks with shame

So before you lose my mind

There's truth in my words

Chorus

You always told me you were my worst

But I'm my own worst enemy

So before you put yourself down

I am my own worst enemy

Verse 3

And if I could take this year back

All the mistakes we made

I'd take it all back, back, back

Start again and shine in shade

So before you lose your mind

There's truth in my words

Chorus

You always told me you were my worst

But I'm my own worst enemy

So before you put yourself down

I am my own worst enemy

Rage.

VERSE 1

There are reasons to be beautiful

But the drugs distort your vision

So you're breathing out poison

Lying to me with sweet precision

Intoxicated and blazed

You're suspect to my rage

Never will you know the hurt

Of a victim in a polluted cage

CHORUS

Get your guns out

Because tonight you're blazing

Get your engine started

While the anger's raging

Put the metal to the floor

Tonight we're going crazy

I'm crashing out of love

(while you're crashing hard)

VERSE 2

Saturated in all this blood

Stains cover the bed sheets

No bleach, I'm using gasoline

To torch the lover who cheats

The stench of your black soul

Fumes of regret and betrayal

They only complicate the bruises

Leaving this broken heart to frail

CHORUS

Get your guns out

Because tonight you're blazing

Get your engine started

While the anger's raging

Put the metal to the floor

Tonight we're going crazy

I'm crashing out of love

(while you're crashing hard)

VERSE 3

Love will never drive away

Lust will never look back

You're ticking w/ a cocaine heart

It'll go off with a heartattack

And this will fucking kill you

As you killed this loving spirit

The future, The love, The pride

Freedom is the night, I hear it

BRIDGE

When he turned his back

I never looked back

CHORUS

Get your guns out

Because tonight you're blazing

Get your engine started

While the anger's raging

Put the metal to the floor

Tonight we're going crazy

I'm crashing out of love

(while you're crashing hard)

Sweet Child of Fear

VERSE 1

The blade turns cold

pressed against your skin

You're out for blood

Now it's my turn to begin

And you won't stop me

When the patience thins

You've been a nightmare

Prisoned in hell with all your sins

So now that you have it coming

CHORUS

You don't run the world

My sweet child of fear

You don't get second chances

When the hour is near

The hour has come

What's done is done

The hour has come

What's done is done

Next Chapter

VERSE 2

Let the transfusion of love

turn for the worse

Inject the poison of control

Subdue your evil curse

Because I won't stop procedures

No more shelter in your vindiction

The nurse is banned from entering

Now silence yourself for the conviction

So now that you have it coming

CHORUS

You don't run the world

My sweet child of fear

You don't get second chances

When the hour is near

The hour has come

What's done is done

The hour has come

What's done is done

Next Chapter

VERSE 3

Lungs are closing up

Gasping for your last breath

Drawing lines when you flatline

Waiting room screams death

Breathe No More

Wounds finally heal

All the words you filtrated

Cast shadows that I no longer feel

BRIDGE

And all in life is real

CHORUS

You don't run the world

My sweet child of fear

You don't get second chances

When the hour is near

The hour has come

What's done is done

The hour has come

What's done is done

Real Love.

VERSE 1

Poison touch my lips

I can taste it on my tongue

Three months in

Look what you have done

Call the doctor in

I'm on a sugar rush

Don't let me come down

Tainted love making me blushh

CHORUS

Oh No!

This shit is real

You're not a fake

Nothing artificial

Oh Oh No!

Take my pulse

I'm beating in synch

With a heart I repulse

But this is real

Real as this is

Oh No!

Real Love

VERSE 2

Lay me down

So I can get no sleep

Put an I.V in my arm

His blood is in me deep

Call the doctor in

I need to be recessed

My head is spinning now

Knowing you are the best

CHORUS

Oh No!

This shit is real

You're not a fake

Nothing artificial

Oh Oh No!

Take my pulse

I'm beating in synch

With a heart I repulse

But this is real

Real as this is

Oh No!

Real Love

VERSE 3

And I scream,

Fuck this stupid love, I quit

But I am in your asylum

He asks why I forget

Then I wake

From the lunatic, lucid dream

They have me all pinned down

Gagged so I can't scream

BRIDGE

And maybe why you sweat at night

Is 'cuz you always win the fight

CHORUS

Oh No!

This shit is real

You're not a fake

Nothing artificial

Oh Oh No!

Take my pulse

I'm beating in synch

With a heart I repulse

But this is real

Real as this is

Oh No!

Real Love

Favors.

VERSE 1

Free fall into empty spaces

You don't want me to save you

So shut the lights off in your mind

Shut me out and say we're through

There's no last words to say

You couln't care less

Nothing left to scream out

When I'm just second best

CHORUS

Do yourself a favor

Bleed yourself to sleep

Because I will be sober

Honestly I stay asleep

Do yourself a favor

Let me do you one

Set your toxins out

Let them kill you done

You're just asking for Favors

VERSE 2

If life is but a sin

Then I'm fooling all the worst

But If Love is your intent

Save your lies for your own curse

And swallow all the water

That will be your own tears

You will live in regret

Suffer in your own pain for years

CHORUS

Do yourself a favor

Bleed yourself to sleep

Because I will be sober

Honestly I stay asleep

Do yourself a favor

Let me do you one

Set your toxins out

Let them kill you done

You're just asking for Favors

VERSE 3

Are you cutting deep enough

To feel the way that I feel

Do you live in your own fantasy

Because some would scream it's real

And to those who've been tortured

For those left to die

You know what is real

When you see through my eyes

BRIDGE

This is beyond the point of hurt

When there's no tears or blood

CHORUS

Do yourself a favor

Bleed yourself to sleep

Because I will be sober

Honestly I stay asleep

Do yourself a favor

Let me do you one

Set your toxins out

Let them kill you done

You're just asking for Favors

This Is Me Breaking Up With You

VERSE 1
How do I decide what is real
And what is all predend
You kept me hanging on to
A dream that we knew would end

In the imagination that
I was right for you
You fogged the mirror
That I tried to see through

CHORUS
This is me breaking up with you
Telling you how I finally feel
This is me breaking up with you
Calling in the devil to end the deal

This is me breaking up with you
The one guy I would run to
This is me breaking up with you
Tell me what else can I do

VERSE 2
Shooting you down with a pistol
A bullet that has 'pain' written
Maybe pull the trigger on myself
Take another bite out of what's been bitten

I brought you all my love
When that was not enough
Gave you everything I had
They say that love is tough

CHORUS
This is me breaking up with you
Telling you how I finally feel
This is me breaking up with you
Calling in the devil to end the deal

This is me breaking up with you
The one guy I would run to
This is me breaking up with you
Tell me what else can I do

VERSE 3
I'm on the verge of falling

Into empty spaces with nothing left

Maybe we were bandits at heart

Lusting for selfish, foolish juvenile theft

Fighting for a reason to love

When everyone else screamed out lust

Maybe they were right on that

You were just a thing left not to trust

BRIDGE

And I can not live this way

CHORUS
This is me breaking up with you
Telling you how I finally feel
This is me breaking up with you
Calling in the devil to end the deal

This is me breaking up with you
The one guy I would run to
This is me breaking up with you
Tell me what else can I do



Surgery

VERSE 1

You draw me in with black crayola

Baby, you make it hard to sleep

You're talented and special and play the boss

I can't surface. I am too deep

And you have got yourself a mess

Too much to clean this house

And you've destroyed chances for redemption

Cut you with a knife

CHORUS

I cut you with a knife

Stabbed you in the heart

Sliced you up

I cut you down

I stabbed you in the heart

VERSE 2

Run away with chains attached

Without me you're still bound

Run so far you find yourself

You think what you left is found

I can hold your hand without a heart

My veins purple or blue

I can see your chest is pounding

Organ beating we are through

CHORUS

I cut you with a knife

Stabbed you in the heart

Sliced you up

I cut you down

I stabbed you in the heart

VERSE 3

Take your body to the westside

Tell them your love shit story

Take yourself to room 13 Surgery

With bloodstained, self filled glory

BRIDGE

They will prescribe the white pill

CHORUS

I cut you with a knife

Stabbed you in the heart

Sliced you up

I cut you down

I stabbed you in the heart

Emptiness.

VERSE 1

Speak to me

Words never to forget

Bite your tongue

With words you will regret

And you will bleed

On pages of my songs

You can stay tonight

Just don't stay too long

CHORUS

Broken promises

Lies upon lies

Reaching for you

Everything dies

We are alone

When together we stand

VERSE 2

Morphine pills ease

All this pain tonight

So intoxicate yourself

Turn off the light

We can't stay sober

When reality caves

Everyone is a robot

Love makes us slaves

CHORUS

Broken promises

Lies upon lies

Reaching for you

Everything dies

We are alone

When together we stand

VERSE 3

When darkness comes

Taking away the flame

Will you reignite the spark

Better left to tame

Feed me the standards

Love seems too real

Show me how cruel

Breaking bones feel

BRIDGE

Leave me here to die

Give me everything you have

CHORUS

Broken promises

Lies upon lies

Reaching for you

Everything dies

We are alone

When together we stand

Miles Away.

VERSE 1

I fall in love with you

When we're together

But when I am alone

It's like you're gone forever

I can not stop a spark

From igniting this fire

But when you're away from me

I'm walking on wire

CHORUS

All I ask is for your voice

When I am a thousand miles away

I'm not asking much of you

I know I can't see your face today

But when I'm gone

You're a thousand miles away

VERSE 2

You said you wanted

Everything to do with me

But when I'm not near

Your heart can't even see

Lonely when you won't call

I'm not a toy on a shelf

When you ignore me like you do

I have to fight a battle with myself

CHORUS

All I ask is for your voice

When I am a thousand miles away

I'm not asking much of you

I know I can't see your face today

But when I'm gone

You're a thousand miles away

VERSE 3

I'm calling you

On the phone inside your mind

Leave a message at the tone

You're something I can't seem to find

Over emotional and you're carefree 

I bend and break so easily

Maybe you have gone too far

But we both live in jealousy

BRIDGE

...and I can't live without you near me

CHORUS

All I ask is for your voice

When I am a thousand miles away

I'm not asking much of you

I know I can't see your face today

But when I'm gone

You're a thousand miles away

Slaughterhouse Love.

VERSE 1

I'm not feeling so sure

of myself anymore 

Sometimes when you come around

I lock my front door

You gave me butterflies

Now they've flown away

You don't give me shelter

From the storm that comes each day

CHORUS

And they say

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

VERSE 2

Come back to me tonight

Like a lucid, crystal dream

I'm haunted by your presence

The ghost who makes me scream

Lock all the trouble away

And lay down on my chest

You left too soon to tell

My love is nothing but a test

CHORUS

And they say

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

VERSE 3

Will you try to lay low

Baby try to realize

My cryptic love investment

Is written across your eyes

It's a cold, dark world

When you act like who you're not

And when I inject you slowly

You'll be immune to what you forgot

BRIDGE

So lie down on the bed

Lay out your worries

rest your head

CHORUS

And they say

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Love is not eternal

Beauty will never last

I'm lying in your blood

Just a vision of your past

Frozen Paradise.

VERSE 1

Winter in Michigan

Give me a reason to stay

I've been debating this

Like we met yesterday

Now the snow will fall

As I do week by week

All life is dead

Yet my heart won't be weak

CHORUS

This is a frozen paradise

Iced over by all my regrets

This is a time for change

Yet seasons have not changed yet

Tell me why I can not leave

This frozen paradise

VERSE 2

Love never lasts

Just like Men come and go

Nothing to build on

When you're buried in snow

Yet moments away from you

Feel like icy years

And I drink you down

Like an ice cold beer

CHORUS

This is a frozen paradise

Iced over by all my regrets

This is a time for change

Yet seasons have not changed yet

Tell me why I can not leave

This frozen paradise

VERSE 3

When I see you again

We'll be more than best friends

I'll take you with me

Down this road that won't end

I will be faithful

As long as you stay insane

With nothing to lose

Driving in the left lane

BRIDGE

Crash into my heart

My heart

CHORUS

This is a frozen paradise

Iced over by all my regrets

This is a time for change

Yet seasons have not changed yet

Tell me why I can not leave

This frozen paradise

When The Sun Comes Up.

VERSE 1

I can promise you

I won't let you down

You're more than welcome

To keep coming around

I see a better half

Of me when you're near

You know you're wanted

So be less insecure

I never knew you'd have me

CHORUS

Living when the sun goes down

Acting like I want no one else around

Keeping me awake all night long

You're keeping me alive and strong

You make me fall more each time

Only sleeping when the sun comes up

I'm only dreaming when the sun comes up

VERSE 2

When I count the days

Until I'm lying next to you

I get a warmer sense

Of why we see things through

There's no more room

For pain within in my eyes

When I'm alone with you

You make me realize

I always knew you'd have me

CHORUS

Living when the sun goes down

Acting like I want no one else around

Keeping me awake all night long

You're keeping me alive and strong

You make me fall more each time

Only sleeping when the sun comes up

I'm only dreaming when the sun comes up

VERSE 3

I know I'll dream about you

As I lie down for bed

You've got my heart fueled

With the way you fill my head

Rumor has it

You've got feelings for me

Rumor has it

You're the only boy I see

BRIDGE

I see faith in your eyes

You have me

CHORUS

Living when the sun goes down

Acting like I want no one else around

Keeping me awake all night long

You're keeping me alive and strong

You make me fall more each time

Only sleeping when the sun comes up

I'm only dreaming when the sun comes up

Getaway.

VERSE 1

Do you ever feel like

It's your last chance 

to be a boy or a man

Do you get excited

when your friends call

and ruin all your plans

CHORUS

I'm a free sprit

Free Ride

Make me your alibi

Call the cops

Give me a reason why

I should get away

Burn the bridges

Take me down

I'm getting tired 

of this town

'Cuz I will get away

VERSE 2

Saturday night

You never brought the beer

Drunk without you

No one wants you here

In the palace

of my stupid thoughts

They can't arrest me

If I don't get caught

CHORUS

I'm a free sprit

Free Ride

Make me your alibi

Call the cops

Give me a reason why

I should get away

Burn the bridges

Take me down

I'm getting tired 

of this town

'Cuz I will get away

VERSE 3

I'm a shameless drunk

Well, I can get mean

If they take me away

I'll never stay clean

What's the use

telling me to stop

I just got over

Making it to the top

BRIDGE

Saturday now a Sunday night

Do what you can

I'm going to burn a hole in my jeans

To make you understand

CHORUS

I'm a free sprit

Free Ride

Make me your alibi

Call the cops

Give me a reason why

I should get away

Burn the bridges

Take me down

I'm getting tired 

of this town

'Cuz I will get away

Give.

VERSE 1

This is not probable 

I'm feeling complete

I don't feel so human boy

Everytime we meet

You have bad thoughts

In your mind

When I look out

You're all I find

Tell me now are we together

I just want to feel better

CHORUS

Let me dance unafraid

Take my heart to the grave

Stand with me by the shore

Let me dance unafraid

Take my heart to the grave

Stand with me by the shore

Give me love, give me more

VERSE 2

Now do you run

When I jump the gun

Do you sweat at night

When you feel alright

I need to know you're here

You feel miles away

In my heart

Baby, there is room to stay

 

Tell me now are we together

I just want to feel better

CHORUS

Let me dance unafraid

Take my heart to the grave

Stand with me by the shore

Let me dance unafraid

Take my heart to the grave

Stand with me by the shore

Give me love, give me more 

  

VERSE 3

Do you feel loved

I keep your heart off the street

Safe and warm next to me

Everytime that we meet

I could give you my word

You know that I am sure

That you're the last one

Heart won't fade to black

BRIDGE

I am a walking sunset

We both were made for night

 

CHORUS

Let me dance unafraid

Take my heart to the grave

Stand with me by the shore

Let me dance unafraid

Take my heart to the grave

Stand with me by the shore

Give me love, give me more

You Will Learn.

VERSE 1

Walk with me down empty streets

Lead me into the dark

They leave me wounded in defeat

Never knowing who you are

Simple man in shadows watch

You leave the bar alone

Help me understand who you are

I won't leave you here alone

CHORUS

But I will watch you break

I will make you burn

Tear you down

I will make you learn

I will watch you break

Burn, Burn, Burn

Tear you down

I will make you learn

You will learn

VERSE 2

When you're feeling down

You can't take my hand

He will guide you there

You have to understand

Live with no fear

Control your mind

Every move you make

Gets harder to define

But I will watch you break

I will make you burn

Tear you down

I will make you learn

I will watch you break

Burn, Burn, Burn

Tear you down

I will make you learn

You will learn

We have been used

Been left to choose

If we want what's best

Or we wanna be abused

So trust in me

Do as you're told

You're lying and lost

Let the truth unfold

BRIDGE

We all feel the need to break

Down

(Pick yourself back up)

CHORUS

But I will watch you break

I will make you burn

Tear you down

I will make you learn

I will watch you beak

Tear you down

I will make you learn

You will learn
