Bad Creature 03:53
There's a voice inside my head And it's got some big plans There's a violence in my skin And a war for me to win All the ones since you have just made me depressed I pressed the rage I got from you into their wounded little chests They'll rest their hearts they'll move along and just be strong and pass the rage they got from me along onto the next poor boy they meet They say I'm a bad bad creature and I see that you've caught my fever yeah That's why your veins are so damn cold That's how the child in you grew old There's a warmth to all the screams That she pushed inside of me It's got a smell that you can see and a heartbeat you can breathe At your next blink we'll be so old Tired and sick but made of pure gold Gold is all we'll ever need All the ghosts since you have just made me depressed I pressed the rage I got from you into their wounded little chests They'll rest their hearts they'll move along and just be strong and pass the rage they got from me along onto the next poor boy they meet They say I'm a bad bad creature and I see that you've caught my fever yeah That's why your veins are so damn cold That's how the child in us grew old Her ill makes me face Her heart makes mine race Her hate makes my drugs last Masquerades as War is a slow dance Violence as romance The suns are electric My lies are eccentric They say I'm a bad bad creature and I see that you've caught my fever yeah That's why your veins are so damn cold That's how the child in you grew old

Walkin' down a bad street at 1am Looking for a demon instead I found a friend He's got no dots or numbers next to his name He's got nowhere to be And he wants something from me Gives me a smile Full of yellow broken teeth Then he led me to the jelly of the beast Join the party and raise your glasses Pour your waste on the hungry masses Burn the bodies consume the ashes We're not dead yet I leave the bodies in the cracks where the old ones lay Skin burnt like bubbles made of rotten clay They all got big bloodshot red eyes for me That's fine with me I'm just here to get my sick A big evil in a little bag of tricks Next time you see me I'll be fixed Join the party and raise your glasses Pour your waste on the hungry masses Burn the bodies consume the ashes We're not dead yet Just Like our heads we'll let the good times roll We'll chase old friends down strips of foil We'll keep it up until we love or loath ourselves Join the party and raise your glasses Pour your waste on the hungry masses Burn the bodies consume the ashes We're not dead yet

Got no woman, got no faith in a god They both said they bled a lot of blood for me but I ain't seen no blood at all We pushed and we shoved and we bent to your will Two sticky sticky sticky sticky stab wounds, oh yeah kill kill kill kill kill Grow some skin Cuz a madman's only mad cuz he blames the sad man being oh so bad In his mirror Windy sunlight on the coastline What he loved the most, he hated most times But he promised he'd be alright I'm a Narcotic narcissist, yeah I really aint much but I try my best I'm a super hero, yeah they call me dumpster boy I need a side kick in my life with lips and hips so coy Remember that time that I touched all your tattoos Remember how we got stuck stuck like two two puppies made of glue Grow some skin Cuz a madman's only mad cuz he blames the sad man being oh so bad In his mirror Windy sunlight on the coastline What he loved the most, he hated most times But he promised he'd be alright We got the wind on our side Gracelessly ambling Shamelessly rambling As long as we got us we'll be alright A big happy family Of misfit anomalies A cure ain't far from our minds But we got some bills to pay And some dreams to slay One girl can ruin you for life If she's careless with your heart But You'll turn her into art Keep telling yourself, keep telling yourself, I promise it helps, I promise it helps keep selling yourself keep selling yourself I promise But he lied. He said he'd be alright Now he's filled with flies

Crash head first into a friendly stranger The girl of my dreams eats bugs And laughs at danger Make love on a pile of vinyl With heavy hearts we'll accept that it's final Lick your favorite pages of your favorite book Give that girl you long for an extra lusty look Now breathe the air Taste sweat and sin Set fire to clothes Exhume your toes your skin Break bitter bread With broken men Now close your eyes count back from ten Make love on a pile of vinyl With heavy hearts we'll accept that it's final Lick your favorite pages of your favorite book Give that girl you long for an extra lusty look You're a silly meatbag Once you understand that Everything is way more funny We're just meat computers Kissing whoever's cuter So burn your clothes and burn your money too We're just baboons, we'll just be corpses soon She ain't magic, but her eyes are full of spells Everything we do is to distract us from ourselves Don't call me tragic cuz my eyes are full of hell Everything we do is to distract us from ourselves She ain't magic, but her eyes are full of spells Everything we do is to distract us from ourselves Don't call me tragic cuz my eyes are full of hell Everything we do is to distract us from the bad stuff Everything we do we do for ourselves But we're just baboons, we'll just be corpses soon

(I'll drown you in) Lilacs and wine to convince you that we'll be fine They call you a demon I call you weird sublime Pretty when tipsy She loves like a gypsy And moves just like a witch Skin smeared with ember Cuz we are forever And love is a simple wish all that I know Swimming in chocolate ether afterglow Lilacs and wine to convince you that we'll be fine They call you a demon I call you weird sublime I'm Sloppy when sober But I still want to know her And break some promises Lips smeared with ember Cuz whiskey's forever As tricksy as hobbitses all that we are Burning with sins as hot as dying stars Lilacs and wine to convince you that we'll be fine They call you a demon I call you weird sublime She loves on a dime

She cut me in sleep with dreams She called them dreams I call them nightmares What's this, what's that, what did I see Roots in my mind grow rotten trees There's bad things after me They'll find me Curled up in storm sanctuary My insides are falling out I never guessed that they'd be black Lust is all I have left to do Lust will fill me up and bring me back You made storms in my heart And now skies are clear Clear of your noise Clear as a nightmare What's this, what's that, what did I see Roots in my mind grow rotten trees There's bad things after me They'll find me Curled up in storm sanctuary Peace now, peace came with the wind But violence, violence came mixed in To want the one you love is such a crime With a fist in my heart and a crow on my shoulder I'll be wise, we'll all be older She knows too much... What's this, what's that, what did I see Roots in my mind grow rotten trees There's bad things after me They'll find me Curled up in storm sanctuary Is it empty in here or is it just you and me Laying in bleeding beds with with old friends and older memories Oh no, she's got me again Here comes the end I'm still not half the man they think I am (I think I am) I washed the wailing from my walls but it seeped back in again (I'm unclean again) Oh Mr. Misery is dead My coldest friend It's been too long, too far gone, XO mom, Still going strong
