Control Issues
Begging softly for my embrace Seeking pleasure within its taste Watching you – All alone in your blackened room The fire burns – beading sweat as midnight turns Bare your pale skin, seek me within To live and breathe never again This “gift” you seek – viewed as such is insanity This is my curse – so close your mouth, never speak the words Chorus Is death really all you seek in life? Blood alone can sate your appetite Is this really everything you want? Spread your wings, little one, it’s time to hunt Candles burning in your dark room Emulating the haunted moon Calling out – in your eyes, not a trace of doubt Licking lips – pooling blood on your fingertips Chorus Bridge You view me as savior, I feel my resistance waiver, (the) weight of life I carry Alone in your sadness, you romanticize this madness, seek its sanctuary The darkness, it shatters, (the) image that you had in tatters, splayed into many threads The promise becomes fear as you see the razor draw near, reality torn to shreds Empty stare, as your death echoes in the air Now you see the heartless demon that is me What you wanted for me to be The last vision you’ll ever see The fangs and cape, simple props that I throw away To your dismay, just an actor in this fatal play Chorus

Shadows dancing on the ceiling while the smoke hangs in the air (and) you there bound in Shibari, your face framed by your dark hair The crimson wine crosses my lips as your shameful tears stain yours And my pleasure means your freedom, you’ve never wanted one thing more Now you’re staring – eyes of wonder, My sweet Object of Desire My control you’ve fallen under, When you find I am a liar Twenty girls have knelt in that space, and every one has tried in vain Their screams became the soundtrack as their failures brought their pain I believe myself a man of reason and I’ve made only one request Give me what the others failed to, and you will cheat your death Now you’re staring – eyes of wonder, My sweet Object of Desire My control you’ve fallen under, and instead become my prey Chorus You embody my pain, my pain, you are the Perfect Little Slave, You will do anything that I say, now, forever to the grave Twenty girls had knelt in that space, now another falls in vain Sorrow chiseled upon her face, her blood falling down like rain Bodies hanging from the ceiling while the smoke hangs in the air Coiling up the rope, I’m dreaming of the next one who’ll kneel there You embody my pain, my pain, you are the Perfect Little Slave, You will do anything that I say, now, forever to the grave

Alias – Behind a nameless screen you hide, Step on others so that you might get a rise Prejudice – Against anything that lies outside the formulaic walls you rise It’s pushed down, despise the sound, this hate your crown With Malice – The traits you claim to hate, I think you don’t even recognize It’s hated, so over-rated, but never contemplated Digestion of ideas and creativity, You rate my life’s work from behind your mask of anonymity Chorus 1 Test drive the new conformity – It’s the latest, greatest craze And our department of R & D is all society, It doesn’t matter what you believe, it’s what you say Perspective – sheltered by a self-imposed wall, segment and categorize it all Objective – soap box, better than them all, from atop your pedestal In your mind, they’re left behind, suffer under your sign Directive – to stand atop the talented, deny you’re small It’s so true, that artist’s through, till they bow and worship you Programmed only with malicious intent You garden seeds of shit with all the time you spent Chorus 1 Subjective – Message you try to erase, Belittle idols so that you can take their place Deceptive – Venom falling from your face, so you can lead a nonexistent race In the end, nobody wins, isn’t that what you intend? Corrective- shatter your anonymous hate, rise above the self-made barricade So arise, cast aside the lies, that much your actions justify When you stand up to face repercussions like a man, Then and only then will your words be worth a damn Chorus 2 Deny the new conformity, (It’s everything that they want you to be) the only way you can be free (Step into your own identity) When the only cool is uncool, the wolves become the sheep Short Attention Span Society

You look so peaceful lying next to me Another round of blissful ecstasy Now you’ll go and leave me alone When you’re with her, do you dream of me? Does your heart cry out, or am I just a slave? You resist, but still I persist You make me cut myself You make me hurt myself You make me hate myself When you pretend that you don’t need me Chorus 1 A silent sin, Dying within, with just one resolution Your priceless face, Your rightful place, Here in my arms I sit here scarred and waiting in the dark slice my skin to please my broken heart A longing just to be with you Where is the justice in this emptiness While you exchange sweat with your little bitch? Can’t you see she can’t love you like me? You make me cut myself You make me hurt myself You make me hate myself When you pretend that you don’t need me Chorus 1 A silent sin, Dying within, with just one resolution Your priceless face, Your rightful place, Here in my arms “I Told You….I Told You We Were Meant To Be” My eyes are red from all the tears I’ve shed, The pain and pleasure shared in this bed The story’s end for all the blood I’ve bled One last breath…together in death Chorus 2 A silent sin, Dying within, with just one resolution Your priceless face, Your rightful place, Here in my arms This act of faith leads to the grave, Demanding absolution The die is cast, in death at last, You are my Soulmate “You are my soulmate”

Ever since you left, I’ve been trying to find someone who could mean as much as you Then I realized that’s impossible, no one person could ever replace you I started to collect, what I needed to build my work of art What’s worth keeping from fractured people, perfect parts Chorus 1 I found a way to cope with the emptiness you left, Collecting pieces here and there, keeping only the best I’m making myself a brand new love to take the place of you She’s the whole of perfect parts, and she’s as cold as you were too Scratches on my skin, for that I needed Candy’s hands, her flawless fingernails Taste of cherry lips ran from Suzanne, even when impaled Contributions then from Rae, Renee, arms and legs divine Sweet Alicia quickly gave up shoulders, neck and spine Chorus 2 I found a way to cope with the emptiness you left, Collecting pieces here and there, keeping only the best I’m making myself a brand new love to take the place of you She’s the whole of perfect parts, and she’s just as cold as you Bridge She remains silent when I say I want some piece of mind She’s so obedient – to my little flaws, she stays blind She won’t shut up, she just complains, she will never leave me be No, she’s not you at all, but everything I hate about me I was so alone in this empty home, and I’ve always been so good at making friends Still I feel a void, because I know we will never make amends Staring at her face, just one thing I’ve come to realize She’s still soulless, and for that I’m going to need your eyes Chorus 1 I found a way to cope with the emptiness you left, Collecting pieces here and there, keeping only the best I’m making myself a brand new love to take the place of you She’s the whole of perfect parts, and she’s as cold as you were too I’m making myself a brand new love to take the place of you She’s the whole of perfect parts, and she’s just as cold as you I’m making myself I’m making myself I’m making myself I’m making myself I’m making myself I’m making myself I’m making myself I’m making myself

There’s a chill to the air, but I don’t care – These walls feel so forgiving, It must have been a plague, they’re crawling out of the grave, and feasting on the living Just a few of us left inside, are we the last ones alive? John was a real Mac Daddy in a long stretch Caddy with an egotistical grin, When they pulled his mistress out through the sunroof, that’s when the fear set in, We found him crying out in pain, covered in his lover’s remains Chorus 1 Minutes stretching into hours, as the living are devoured In the dark we hide, how much longer before we die? Tina hides in the corner, we all tried to warn her that her daddy was infected, Loyalty to the family, I guess you have to respect it, Could have heard a pin hit the floor when I saw her reach for the door Chorus 2 Minutes stretching into hours, as the living are devoured In the dark we hide, how much longer before we die? Never see a new sun rise, as we stare death in the eyes, Now that they’ve found their way in…Let the Feast begin It’s accurate now, they must have known somehow, for everything it’s worth “When there’s no room left in Hell, “they say, “the dead shall walk the Earth I take solace in the gun where I stand, they’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hand Chorus 2 Minutes stretching into hours, as the living are devoured In the dark we hide, how much longer before we die? Never see a new sun rise, as we stare death in the eyes, Now that they’ve found their way in…Let the Feast begin

Who am I in your mind? Nothing but a ghost Just a name, a broken frame something unknown I’ve come to be a memory left in the cold Tonight I’ll dispel the lies that they have told (you) With my body torn and tired, my spirit hard as stone Cut me like the rose’s thorns with darkness as my throne Far away, I know that you’re the child in loveless bonds They seek to cage your soul until your innocence is gone Chorus Captured – Beaten, bound and broken – but I won’t be denied Your vision keeps me fighting just to stay alive Through this pain, across the miles, I’ll be by your side Just to see the future there in your eyes In the night, blind to the light I’m pushing on The stars my guide, the rage inside for what they’ve done In my dreams I hear you scream to set you free Fighting through, to bring you safely home to me Chorus Captured – Beaten, bound and broken – but I won’t be denied Your vision keeps me fighting just to stay alive Through this pain, across the miles, I’ll be by your side Just to see the future there in your eyes I AM defying, I AM denying, I AM surviving the traps that line my path I AM persistent, I AM resistant, I AM a distant glimmer of hope returning from your past Captured – Beaten, bound and broken – but I won’t be denied Your vision keeps me fighting just to stay alive Through this pain, across the miles, I’ll be by your side Just to see the future there in your eyes

It started out so well, finally got the nerve to ask her I can’t believe hot girl said yes, guess I’m just a lucky bastard Staring at my shaking hands when her dad opened the door With the lecture came the headaches, I’m not sure which hurt more Your endless silence is what my violence demands, Your crying will die in my hands All throughout the night, her voice became a grind Suddenly I realized the hands around her throat were mine Constructed dreams and constricted screams turn gray, Your life and your light fade away Chorus Drowning in the searing guilt, reliving yesterday In this bar surrounded by the ghosts of Bettie Page Can’t rid my head of her staring eyes as I try to hold the glass You joked “get her home in one piece” and fuck, I couldn’t even do that (spoken) “..and I can’t take this!” Basking in the silence at last hot girl’s screams are gone I couldn’t get her home alive, now I’m replaying what I’ve done The headaches start again, my brain still burns Meaning just one single solution, tonight, Daddy, it’s your turn Chorus I know just what you meant when you said you’d have my head With .45 intent, it all comes to an end (screamed) “..AND I CAN’T TAKE THIS!” Chorus

Fed up drinking Alone in my bed Muzzled and screaming Waking the dead Crooked smiling Bottles of booze Cigarette dreaming Singing the blues Burn out midnight Aimless with thought Pay for your vices And hang on your cross Pleading for traces Of innocence lost Denying the faces Believe in the cost Bridge: Sweet spirits drag me down Beneath the ground Sweet spirits drag me down Funeral mound Sweet spirits bring me down Lost but not found Sweet spirits drag me down Beneath the ground Face down in silent Years of remorse Veins thick with sewage Running its course Surviving is lying Through bloodletting teeth Ignorance seeping Venereal belief

Dream – a constant waking dream, Every wish laid out in this Life – in full-color spreads, A free-form drama, for all to see Sacrifice tomorrow for reverence today, A butcher’s bill someone else can pay, The scalpel’s image of the perfect face, Worship me, Please worship me Chorus 1 You’re just another shooting star, In the twilight of your life, Your time will be so very short, But you will burn so very bright A perfect face designed to change the world, Black curtain that you hide behind, A glance, a smile, a fetching game you play, Worship me, please worship me Chorus 2 You’re just another shooting star, in the twilight of your life, Your time has been so very short, but you have burned so very bright, I have loved you from afar, with the care of your very father, I have made you the thing you are, now it is time to make another Dream your constant failing dream, Last dance with shadows of former glory, Life, your sad story to tell, An empty husk that’s thrown away Chorus 3 You’re just another shooting star, in the twilight of your life, Your time has been so very short, but you have burned so very bright, You’re just another shooting star, In the twilight of your life, Your time will be so very short, But you will burn so very bright
