01/Happy Birthday

I think my friend said, "I hear footsteps"
I wore my black and white dress to the
birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday...
I wore my black and white dress...

I think my friend said,
"Stick it in the back of her head."
I think my friend said, "Two of them are sisters"
"I'm a murder tramp, birthday boy",
I think I said
"I'm gonna bash them in, bash them in",
I think he said

Then we wished them all a happy birthday
We kissed them all goodnight. Now he chases me to my room,
chases me to my room, chases me...
In my black and red dress

I think my friend said, "Don't forget the video."
I think my friend said, "Don't forget to smile."
"You're a murder tramp, murder tramp", I think he said
"You're a murder boy, birthday boy",
I think I said

02/Horror Show


They're getting ugly
They're a horror show
And now we're laughing
Because they'll never know
That they have everything
We give them all of our own
And they tell us they're sick and they're all alone

They make fools of us together but we always think of them
All their laughing and their talking and their wasting of our time
And it always hurts to see them now that everything is different
We don't like to see their eyes
cause they will never look the same

They shut the door
We fell far behind
We try forgiveness
But they cross the line
And now the moment has passed
And we can't rewind
We are dead long before we run out of time

They make fools of us together but we always think of them
All their laughing and their talking and their wasting of our time
And it always hurts to see them now that everything is different
We don't like to see their eyes
cause they will never look the same

03/Promise Me



We don't know what time we'll be there
But we won't show up till later
It will all look so much nicer
After all of us arrive
Promise me to pass the time
Dance with me on plastic tears
Kiss me We won't feel alone
Till morning when we disappear
Though we all want to be noticed
There's no need for competition
Cause there's just no way of knowing

Promise me to pass the time
Dance with me on plastic tears
Kiss me We won't feel alone
Till morning when we disappear
We don't listen to each other
Cause we're all too busy talking
We'll tell lies about each other
Cause the truth is such a bore
With the threat of dawn approaching
And our interest quickly fading
We will stumble home together
As we did the night before
Promise me to pass the time
Dance with me on plastic tears
Kiss me. We won't feel alone
Till morning when we disappear

04/Under The Stairs


You know you're too young for your age
I feel kind of sorry for you
Cause it's such a shame
You won't be laughing when I'm dead

Under stairs and no one cares I'm dead
And that is where I'll wait for you

Nothing here has changed
Maybe you should go and find
Someone else to blame
Cause you are gonna be sorry when I'm dead

Under stairs and no one cares I'm dead
And that is where I'll wait for you

05/To Die For


Tighten your tie boy.
You're something to die for.
But don't hold your breath now.
You're just killing time.
Tonight you can dream boy.
Imagine a whisper.
If you can keep secrets,
then I'll tell you mine.

Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to.
Though it brings me to tears now,
I need you to know.
Look in my eyes boy. Nothing like yours now
It seems that a lifetime is passing us by.
So open your eyes.
This is forever but it won't last long.
This is a memory that fades away in neverending.

In the death of all
that's long been said and done before,
we'll wish that we were something more.
Stop wasting time boy.
You're late all your life boy.
They won't have the patience
for someone like you.
Your memory's fading.
I'll love you forever.

I'll try to remember. I'll try to hold on.
You're standing alone boy.
Waiting for dreams boy. Waiting for something
to make them cometrue.
Don't ever leave boy. I'd miss you too much boy.
I'll never forget you,
as long as I'm here.

06/Video Kid



Next phase, next craze, next nothing new.
Got the pretty boy beat him up black and blue.
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two.
Turned him into a video kid like you.

I know you're just pretending.
There's no window for escape.
I know you see right through me.
There's no promise left to break.

Shot the pretty boy killed him on commodore.
Need a new game, need a new something more.
Got a new face got a new way to score.
Got a voice like something I've heard before.

The message misleading.
We're lying, we're cheating.
We're only repeating.
The motions preceding

07/Over


He watches her while she is sleeping
He wonders if he could watch her forever
He wants to know every secret she keeps
He wants to know what it is that keeps them together
He doesn't know what is real anymore
He tries to read the reflections from her eyes
He never stopped to think about love and direction
He only took the truth from his paranoid lies

Sometimes the beauty starts to die
When it's over
Torture yourself by asking why
But it's over

She watches him as he is leaving
She waits all night till he comes home
She fabricates another reason to stay
She's always so afraid of being alone
She doesn't know what is real anymore
She tries to read the reflections from his eyes
She never stopped to think about love and direction
She only took the truth from her paranoid lies

Sometimes the beauty starts to die
When it's over
Torture yourself by asking why
But it's over

su

08/Broken

Time is the promise
It turns and tells them what to do
It makes them dishonest
They let the suspicion kill the truth

Broken Heart, Broken Mind
When you let me in
Did you not know where I had been?

And love's what they wasted
A lie that makes their dreams come true
They're hiding their faces
Their smiles can break the heart in two

Broken Heart, Broken Mind
When you let me in
Did you not know where I had been?

09/The Dream





Her fabulous invention,
What strange imagination shown.
Her gloroius intentions,
a sea of doubt beneath her own.
It said "You're not the first to dream this, little girl.
You know it's never happened once in this world.
It never crossed my mind that one so young could
hope to find a power greater then my own."

She never did what they told her to,
and they'll never see her dream come true.
The edge of revelation, believing all the stories told.
A final moment taken
before this story's end unfolds.

Now she flies over clouds in twilight skies.
Nothing to bind her, no one will find her this high.
Far above the rainy weather,
All plans have come together,
and for the first time she feels just fine.

02/Lovers End



Hands cover whispers of the lovers' fright
Fear-cloaked renditions of that autumn night
Digging up rumours of the kids in the park
What awful things happened in the dark?

Take just one last dare
Pretend you don't care
Till twilight falls
Wait, is someone else here?
And I can't stop my tears
I've never been so scared

In the cellar buried 6 feet deep
The lover's shaken from a dreamless sleep
Nails clawing splinters from the ceiling and floor
Shrieking like the witches till his stitches are sore

Take just one last dare
Pretend you don't care
Till twilight falls
Wait, is someone else here?
And I can't stop my tears
I've never been so scared

Calling for the other
Searching for her lover
Secrets she discovers
Drain her face of color

1, 2, 3, 4, underneath the cellar floor
5, 6, 7, 8, lover will suffocate

su

03/Violet

The tragic comedy divine
Paints the way to peace of mind
Leaving shallow lovers far behind

Past uncertainties combine
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes
Memory runs the course of time

Blood runs cold beyond
the violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away

We're never enough

We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say

So we sleep through the days

Within the heat of passions war
Lust is spilled upon the floor
Staining red the wasted metaphor

The selfish need for something more
Claws in vain at closing doors
Scarring faces once adored

Tracing circles in the violet prison
For violet visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away


su

05/Play Dead


And boys are so cold
They speak without meaning
The only time they talk is in their sleep
And girls are a bore
Their touch without feeling
Their secrets always far too grim to keep
And up until now
You've lived in their shadows
trying hard to please them
But they'll never see
And they'll never hear you tonight

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our plastic hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide
the scars of time

And boys are so cruel
So don't let them find you tonight
And girls are so vain
So put them behind you tonight
I'll cast you a spell
A magic where everyone
plays dead forever
And you'll never smile
There's nothing inside you tonight

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our plastic hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide
the scars of time

06/Blue


Plastic blue invitations in my room
I've been waiting here for you
Reservations made for two
Sunlight fading

Black tongues speak faster than the car can crash
You supply the rumours, and I'll provide the wrath
Romance is breaking every heart in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue

Plastic blue conversations in my room
Saving every tear for you
Trusting every word untrue
Twilight fading

Fate changes faster than the death of light
You supply the envy and I'll provide the spite
Reflections cutting every face in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue


su

08/Holiday

It's getting late
It all just wanes and pales and fades away
If we want it too much
And what a shame if all there is
Is all that's gone away
There's nothing left here for us

Deadlight holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain

It's all the same
So many words remaining
Always too late
It never seems worth taking
And all the days
And all the nights lost sleeping
And in the end
The secret not worth keeping


su
09/Nevermind




Five glasses changed my mind
Seems like the ticking hands are taking their time
I guess I've been at home for longer than it takes
to unwind so slap me if I step out of line

Now in smaller spaces, careless lust intoxicated
Away from prying eyes
And rabid smiles
And everything's shattering
My invitation was involuntary dialation
And now I can't recall your name

I think we've met before
It was last Christmas on our parents' accord
You were the young man in the costume
That was hard to ignore
And I was feeling hopelessly bored

Now you're conversation's
scholarships and occupations
You look so different than before
When, nevermind
Anyway, this reckless violation
Tarnishing my reputation
Has left me nothing kind to say

::Remember Me::
It's safe to say I'm lonely now
A place called home is just
a memory away
I know I've done this all before
A thousands silent voices
begging me to stay

Apologies all left unsaid
Secrets better left unspoken
Dreams are slowly put to bed
Rumors stirred and reawoken

And if I try to get away
How long until I'm free?
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?

It's safe to say I'm lonely now
It's all so quiet but I can't
forget the sound
A thousand voices call my name
A thousand hands that pull me back
down to the ground

I turn away from what you are
Denying all that you have given
I fade a place that's safe and far
In time all will be forgiven

And if I try to get away
How long until I'm free?
And if I don't come back here
Will you remember me?

::Nothing And Nowhere::



A voice moves silent through
the twisted city streets
The eyes from tangled gardens peer
He grins a broken smile through shattered teeth
He brings the darkest time of year

And he will save us now
And he will take us underground
Where we'll never be bound by love
Or the nightmares above

The night of dreams when things
are not as they may seem
Before the day we'll never know
We will take us while we're sleeping
And he will never let us go

And he will save us now
And he will take us underground
And here we'll never be bound by love
Or the nightmares above

We follow the sound
It's leading us down
Into the kingdom of under
We're lost and we're found
We're nothing and nowhere
Forever and ever

::Queen Of Hearts::

He puts the gun to her head
She tells him everything
Her voice is haunted like a dream
He sews the crack in his heart
Before he tears her apart
In the basement underneath
He says,

Never say no to me

He burns her high school pictures
And buries old dreams
He reads her diary once more
He cleans the tears from her eyes
He still can't stand to see her cry
Her face is broken and sore
He says,

Never say no to me

su

::Night Time::


I think it happened at night time
A cold rain drizzled down from space
Hiding tears from streetlight eyes
I saw the same familiar face
Something pseudo tv love
A mixed up girl who's something of
A fairytale's romantic dream come true

She breaks my heart and blurs my eyes
Her love is never easy
A magic made for tragic minds
And thinking back I should have known
That she could see right through me
And I would end up on my own

Gazing through my window
She glittered like the starlit rain
Whispering tales of broken hearts
She told me things would never change
There was only so much words could say
We closed our eyes and we dreamed away
And for a time our love was almost real

She breaks my heart and blurs my eyes
Her love is never easy
A magic made for tragic minds
And thinking back I should have known
That she could see right through me
And I would end up on my own

su

::Make Believe::

Waiting for their minds to fall asleep
Sneaking out the door to the park I creep
Where my machine will wait for me
Open up the doors and stumble inside
Over a sleeping world we ride
To places I don't want to see

Don't pretend you feel
It turns your words to plastic
Don't pretend that this is real
It's all make believe

Waiters on tables are selling their lies
Drowning in the pubs till the night time dies
Whispering guilt into my ear
Looking for some cheap romance
Watching the girls in sparkles dance
Tonight could be your night my dear

Don't pretend you feel
It turns your words to plastic
Don't pretend that this is real
It's all make believe


su

::Neverending Story::

Turn around
And look at what you see
In her face the mirror of your dreams

Make believe I'm everywhere
Hidden in the lines
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a neverending story

Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be

Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
There upon the rainbow
Is the answer to a neverending story

Show no fear
Or she may fade away
In your hands
The birth of a new day

Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
There upon the rainbow
Is the answer to a neverending story

::Velvet::

Happy in her soft red dress
The worst nightmare there ever was
I wake up, shaking
Thinking of her big black eyes
that shone like stars

Bashed her head against the wall
I pulled out mostly all her hair
Dragged her through the dirt and grass
But Velvet never seemed to care

Plastic hands that held and moved, and
Eyes that gleamed with trusting light,
And I, all adolescent dumb
Abandoned Velvet in the night

I am so guilty I can't speak
And though she's never far from mind
It's far too late to change this end
My velvet's crushed and left behind

So beautiful and I destroyed you
So innocent and I ruined you
So trusting and I betrayed you
So precious and it's all my fault
