OF BEAUTY AND DECAY ALBUM LYRICS

Dimmed Essence

This is my new painting
Fading colours of fashion
The waves and wind are pushing us around

We are stepping on a cracked glass floor
About ready to fall into nothingness
Somehow this floor is reflecting our souls
Oblivious to the fact that we are ourselves

    … And I welcome myself…
    … And I welcome myself…
    … And I welcome myself…

We are a portrait of a painter
throwing away his masterpiece
Perfection is found in our next of kin
Relationships submerged
by materialistic greed
Downfall is what we need
the individual is not society

    Welcome myself

The painting is dimming
at the sight of our acts
Drained of all colour

Today’s moral conscience
is the constitutional formula
We’ve been dictated
Today’s moral conscience
is the constitutional formula
We’ve been dictated

    Welcome myself

Abort it all to find purity

The painter returned to the blank canvas
Aborted it all to find a sense of purity
    … And I welcome myself…

Hole Sweet Hole

I’ll dig my hole
This shit has taken its toll
I won’t be heard
I won’t be seen
I’ll stay in my hole

If no one knows that I’m aching
I’ll never know that they don’t care
Everyone around me is suffering
Why do I care?

You hit a soft spot
I’ll hide that soft spot
I won’t bother you with me

    I don’t wanna
    I don’t wanna
    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone
    Go ahead and slit that wrist
    I’ll find someone else, bitch

Love you so much I’m just wishing you’d die
I’m such an asshole, I deserve to die

You hit a soft spot
I’ll hide that soft spot
I won’t bother you with me

    I don’t wanna
    I don’t wanna
    Wake up alone
    Wake up alone
    Go ahead and slit that wrist
    ’ll find someone else, bitch

Kill me now.

A Loose Bolt

Quickly losing track of what matters and what doesn’t
A paradise this size, imposed and despised

Quickly losing track of what was pure and what wasn’t
Sinned such big sins, but where are the twins?

Don’t say I didn’t warn you, little buddy
You have to save up your dough in order to be somebody
A man is worth how many digits he can write on a check
A soul substituted by state-of-the-art high-tech
The machine is too big, too seductive and tasty
Lure me in, I want my Coke, Nike, MTV
I’m a puppet of expensive commercials
Can you spell trouble?

    I’m a part of the machine
    A loose bolt in the machine

Here we are dwelling, resting,
Getting fat on our riches and whorish pleasures
Enlarging egos
Boosting ignorant, patriotic bullshit
Chauvinistic mentality, all I’d do is smash it
Proud to be a part of a nation of twelve-tear-old boys
And forty-year-old dads jacking off to (pop star sluts)

No way in hell will I be a part of this
In lack of an easy solution
Except… maybe, killing everyone and starting everything over
No way in hell will I be a part of this

    I’m a part of the machine
    A loose bolt in the machine

Bush drop dead!

Dreadful how this system that doesn’t work
Keeps shoving its way on the world as if we knew best
Bush, you fuck! The twins dying should have been a lesson
A wake up call to back off, shut up
Need more planes raining down?
There are no good guys or bad guys
Just assholes, creeps in suits in ties defecating lies

Murder, rape, abortions, suicide
This madness people call Home
Reminiscent of the roman empire
It fell hard so will America
This ain’t pessimism or faith
Just plain logic
Fuck your border
Fuck your flags
Human race needs no border
Human race needs no flags.

...So Do I

She knows what I’ve been through
But she doesn’t care
She claims she understands me
This isn’t fair

Pink Polaroid images
Can’t mask this gray reality
While these sores still bleed
The world shows no pity

It’s starting to sink in
Just how ugly we’ve all become
I’m afraid I’m a part of the sin
So fragile I just might cum

And she’s got it all
As the wind blows by…

    As the wind blows by so do all the things that make this world seem bright
    As the wind blows by so do all the things that make this world worth while
    Tear the smile right off my face
    Tear the smile off

Behind the door I see the world grasping for air
Society choking on my knee World Wide Web – World Wide Wound
I close the door, I feel the wind so screaming cold
On the back of my neck, the world polluted was sold

World Wide Web
World Wide Wound
I felt the wind
On the back of my neck

The wind so screaming cold.

Still Feeding

The angel bent down to kiss the snake goodbye
The snake bent down to kiss the lamb goodbye

Elaï lhama sabacthani

    Feed me a pill
    Sun stand still
    Such is thy will
    Forsaken by a pill

The lamb bent down to kiss the worm goodbye
So the worm rose up to sit on throne on high

Elaï lhama sabacthani

    Feed me a pill
    Sun stand still
    When born kill
    Forsaken by a pill.

Kill the Popstar

Ah you dumb, boring, ordinary,
Monkey-see, monkey-do, N’Sync-loving freak
You’re so conservative, it’s damn near offensive
We’ll take a rag and name it Tommy
And sell it for an arm and a leg
There’s no pride in being like everyone else

We’ll censure the nipples and the hair
Now Christians can watch guilt-free
I guess that’s fair
Buy your kids toy guns
Play dead, it’s fun

    None of this makes any sense
    But we couldn’t care less
    We’ll sell love, we’ll sell hate, we’ll sell you God
    We’ll fuel your lust with a price

    None of this makes any sense
    But we couldn’t care less
    Now even love, even hate and even God
    Have been given price tags

They’re bombing foreign countries while banning Eminem
Oh my God! Those violent lyrics might not be good for them!

Make love, not war! Winners use drugs!
Save the whales! Hug the trees!
A burger a day
Keeps the doctor well paid

Someone please revolt
Our lives need a little jolt
Kill the pop star!
Kill the pop star!

The world has gone insane
The solution is very plain
Kill the pop star!
Kill the pop star!

A Bullet or Two (Maybe Three)

Goddamn it!

Pull me down, this is excessive
This fucked up sentimental obsession is kicking me
Who the hell told you I could handle this anyway?
Powerless because of you and ‘cause of your painful kiss

Kiss me

Isn’t this pathetic, inelegant, cliché
An addictive crave for something, for someone just like you
That I’d be better off without
You’re stabbing nails into wounds that you yourself made
And that were so hard to heal

A kiss could heal
A kiss could kill

Fuck all these feelings
I don’t want no more
Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Twist the nail into the wound
Dare to spit out all the blood meant to poison someone else
I’m not quite finished, please twist a little harder
There’s more blood left to drain

Wish I could not want, could not need, could not crave this
Wish I could not want, could not need, could not crave you
You’re way too close, back up please
Goddamn emotions, I can’t stand you, it hurts just to see you
Would you kiss me, please

A kiss could kill

Simple, easy, cold and empty
Let’s get robotic

Fuck all these feelings
I don’t want no more
Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Twist the nail into the wound
Dare to spit out all the blood meant to poison someone else
I’m not quite finished, please twist a little harder
There’s more blood left to drain

Does it hurt?

I’m your chew-toy, kiss me
Come over for tea
Test my sanity
You’ll play with me again
My heart will tare again
But this time I’m going to shoot you
A bullet or two, it’s my turn to kiss you
Does it hurt?
A bullet or two, maybe three
Baby does it hurt? Baby does it hurt?
It’ll be over soon
Just a bullet or two.

Wave In A Water Drop

A – e – a – e – a – e – a – e – a – e – yah

Wave in a water drop
In a water drop

Empuse

Enivré par l’image que tu me procures
Douce noyade pure
Infâme empuse
Je souffre un sourire
J’ignore ta personne mais j’idolâtre ta parure
Pute insouciante
Je cris un sourire

Contemple le vide
L’absence peu étrange
Mes seules lueurs sont morbides
Je ne souhaite plus que ça change

J’acquiers ton absolu dans tes reflets
Je t’aime et je te haie
Infâme empuse
Tu forces un sourire
J’ignore ta personne mais j’idolâtre ta parure
Pute insouciante

Mon péché te strangule
Mon péché te strangule

Contemple le vide
L’absence peu étrange
Mes seules lueurs sont morbides
Je ne souhaite plus que ça change
Je ne souhaite plus que ça change

Enivré par l’image que tu me procures
Douce noyade pure
Ta peau est froide... si douce
Je t’idolâtre davantage quand tu es morte

Je contrôle tes caresses
J’ai le contrôle
Je contrôle tes caresses
Je te contrôle.

Centipede

The ripples of your tears
Dripping on my brain
The pressure of your fears
Wired to the chain
Speaking like a flood
As an answer to my blood

My beloved centipede
Crawling inside me

I spread my only wing
Seen as an handicap
Happiness a cane might bring
When you’re sitting on my lap
Now I know you knew
So I kiss what’s left of you

My beloved centipede
Crawling inside me

God I love her when crawls over me

The smell I’m not used to
But all of this can change
The images I relate to you
Might seem a little strange
The sound of nothing
My ears are dying.

Vic*Tim

Still, searching for an opportunity,
Locked into this fragile eternity,
Stolen by such a friendly enemy;
Stranger looking for my rotten corpses identity.

Trapped by this steel cage
That, for such a time, you encouraged.
By fucking their brains out,
But mostly her own,
You impaled all the images that I owned,
You impaled all the images of my own.
This wind is so cold when you’re alone;
Terrifying starlight will make its way out.

Wound seems so familiar these days;
Beings are now so kindly hating…
Happiness has found her way through Obey.
And still my life is so horrifying.
God I love her when she crawls over me.

TV schedules are now called holy bible;
It’s the new way of masturbating our souls.
(It’s a) Similar fact if you’re praising an idle…
How will you be able to run out of this hole?

All of me is what you ever searched,
But it seems that all I am isn’t enough.
All I had was for you,
Now I’m nothing but you.
I’m trying of getting just a touch,
But you rejected my soul and my best friend Hurt (K…).

Show me you’re waiting for me.
Show me you can still like me,
Prove me that you didn’t leave me
Because I was only being me.
Please, show me you’re waiting for me.
Please, show me you’re living with me.

You were all I had…
All I had…
All…
