| Slipping Away | |

I keep slipping away
I keep slipping away
I keep slipping
I keep slipping
I keep slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Myself keeps slipping away
Away
Away
Myself keeps slipping away
Away
Away
Myself keeps slipping away
Away
Away
Myself keeps slipping away
Away
Away
Myself keeps slipping away
Slipping
Slipping
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save
Tried to save
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself
Tried to save myself

| The Great Collapse | |

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (x3)
|
| The Wretched | |
|
Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have
Could have beens
Another day
Some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us
The wretched
The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it
Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And God himself will reach his fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking
Spinning
And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be
But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out quite the way you wanted it
Now you know
This is what it feels like
You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but

My God sits in the back of the limousine
My God comes in a wrapper of cellophane
My God pouts on the cover of the magazine
My god's a shallow little bitch trying to make the scene
I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype
I listened to everyone now I know that everyone was right
I'll be there for you as long as it works for me
I play a game
It's called insincerity

Starfuckers
I am every fucking thing and just a little more
I sold my soul but don't you dare call me a whore
And when I suck you off not a drop will go to waste
It's really not so bad you know once you get past the taste, yeah
(asskisser)
Starfuckers
All our pain
How did we ever get by without you?
You're so vain
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you
Now I belong I'm one of the chosen ones
Now I belong I'm one of the beautiful ones

| Where Is Everybody? | |
|
Did you happen to catch
Or did it happen so fast
What you thought would always last
Has passed you by
Is everything speeding up
Or am I slowing down
Just spinning around
And I don't know why
All the pieces don't fit
Thought I really didn't give a shit
I never wanted to be like you
But for all I aspire
I really am a liar
And I'm running out of things I can do
I'd like to stay
But every day
Everything pushes me further away
If you could show
Help me to know
How it's supposed to be
Where did it go?
Pleading and
Needing and
Bleeding and
Breeding and
Feeding
Exceeding
Where is everybody?
Trying and
Lying
Defying
Denying
Crying and
Dying
Where is everybody?
Well okay, enough
You've had your fun
But come on there has got to be someone
That hasn't yet become
So numb
And succumb
And
God damn I am so tired of pretending
Of wishing I was ending
When all I'm really doing is trying to hide
And keep it inside
And fill it with lies
Open my eyes?
Maybe I wish I could try

| Metal | |
|
We're in the building where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers
Like you
My Mallory heart is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real
Like you
The sound of metal I want to be you
I could learn to be a man
Like you
Plug me in and turn me on
Oh everything is moving
I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
Singing "I am an American"
Do you?
Picture this if they could make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you and how can I try?
Here inside I like metal
Don't you?
All I know is no one dies
I'm still confusing love with need

[The whispered lyrics at 3:40 (or 3:30 in version) are difficult to hear.
People submit all sorts of ideas. From these, I got my best guesses down.
Lyrics I'm not sure of are in brackets []. If you know for sure what is being
said, please email me.]
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
all the time
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
all the time
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
all the time
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
i'm getting closer
i'd tried to get so high
i made it ten miles high
i'm gonna get so high
[my nightmare's everywhere but inside]
[a living indication]
[of every situation]
[but it seems]
[i got neglected complication]
[hindered] my salvation
but i try and i try and i try
i'm gonna get so high
you'll never get inside
i swore i'd never turn into you
i'm closer
all the time
i made it ten miles high
can't tell my truth from my lies
i swore to god i would never turn into you
i'm getting closer
all the time
no
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all
