1.I WILL BREAK YOU

I can be anything, be anything for you
No need to whistle cos I carry all the tools
I can be anyone, be anyone for you
I've all the weapons and i follow no one's rules

I let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Don't try to humble me I'm badass to the bone
I been where you ain't seen so shut up with that tone
Don't try to mess with me I'll train you like a hound
I'll fill up all your bees till honey licks the ground

Yeah I will break you, with ma fire,
I'll destroy you, with my desire
Yeah I will break you, with ma fire,
I'll destroy you, with my desire

Those sluts have nothing on me, I control the zone,
I'll pick the bones of you, fuck up your little world,
I will inspire you to blow out of your head,
Shock up and fire you'll rock you till your dead

I let it show,
Let it show
Yeah I will break you, with ma fire,
I'll destroy you, with my desire
Yeah I will break you, with ma fire,
I'll destroy you, with my desire

Yeah I will break you, with ma fire,
I'll destroy you, with my desire
Yeah I will break you, with ma fire,
I'll destroy you, with my desire


2. SAD SAD SAD

He took your breath away
But will you feel the same tomorrow
When you're down on the ropes

He takes the edge away
Same ole routine you fail and follow
You shattered your hopes
Comedy blokes

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like his mother

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like them others

You're sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa so
Bad bad bad
Just like your lovers

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like your mother

You wash the stains away
You let his red hot girls corrupt you
You suckled the rats

He plays the blame charade
You filled your boobs for boys above you
He covered his tracks
You smothered the facts

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like his mother

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like them others

You're sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa so
Bad bad bad
Just like your lovers

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like his mother

You play the blame charade
You play the blame charade
You play the blame charade
He took the pain away

You're sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa so
Bad bad bad
Just like your lovers

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like your mother

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like your mother

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like them others

You're sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa so
Bad bad bad
Just like your lovers

You're so
Sad sad sad
Just like your mother

I feel so


3. SPIT YOU OUT

And this feeling's killing me
Resistance makes it harder
Oh this feeling's killing me
I can't cut you out of my veins
Like I know I should
'Cause you feel too good
Yeah this feeling's killing me

I can't spit you out
Can't spit you out
Can't spit you out
Of my head

I can't suck you out
Can't suck you out
Can't suck you out
Of my head

Oh the knife is turning sweet
Twisting ever faster
Suck me down I'm falling deep
I can't work you out of my skull
Like I know I should
'Cause you look too good
Yeah the pain's corrupting me

I can't spit you out
Can't spit you out
Can't spit you out
Of my head

I can't suck you out
Can't suck you out
Can't suck you out
Of my head

I can't spit you out
Can't spit you out
Can't spit you out
Of my head

I can't suck you out
Can't suck you out
Can't suck you out
Of my head


4. I HOPE YOU GET TO MEET YOUR HERO

I should have run, before the tears
Than stand alone, dead in front of you, eyes without a view
I should have known and faced my fears
This bitter juice, churns inside of me, secret enemy

I hope you get to meet your hero
I hope she never lets you down
I hope she never tears you heart out
Or runs away without a sound
Or lets you down
Lets you down
Lets you down

I wanna scream, till lungs are raw
You slew the dream, right in front you of me, you and her and he
I walk away so I can die
Out of your view, I lose my sanity, fate discovers me

I hope you get to meet your hero
I hope she never lets you down
I hope she never tears you heart out
Or runs away without a sound
I hope you get to choose your weapons
And fire first without a cause
I hope you get meet your hero
I hope she's what you're waiting for
Lets you down
Lets you down
Lets you down
Lets you down
Lets you down

I hope you get to meet your hero
I hope she never lets you down
I hope she never tears you heart out
Or runs away without a sound
I hope you get to choose your weapons
And fire first without a cause
I hope you get meet your hero
I hope she's what you're waiting for
Don't let her down
Don't let her down
Don't let her down


5. I BELIEVED YOU

I'd like to invite you, to this pretty little thing
Where the fruits of the labor, are eaten by the queen
Yeah i'd like to request you, a seat with greedy boys
But i'm sorry, i must stop you at the door

[Chorus]
I believed in you, well, i was wrong
I believed you'd make me better, i was wrong
I believed you'd shine your light and save my world, like Superman or God
I believed in you, well, i was wrong

Will you do me the favor, go slit your skinny throat
Let your blood flow freely, so all your boys can choke
As i rise to defeat you, on revolution road
Well your moves, and your fears, will slow

[Chorus]

I hope, when you're sleeping, your guns are close at hand
Who knows who's cheating, to steal your contraband
That you gained in abundance, from good to living poor
One day, they will take it, no more

[Chorus](X2)


6. SATISFIED ?

I never wanted you to go
I only want to change the picture
Should I deflate and suffer blows
Now I've seen devil eyes within your bewitcher
Should I stand by you

There's nothing I can say
To satisfy you
There's nothing I can say
But go your lonely way
There's nothing I can do
To satisfy you

No way to save your stubborn soul
I'll save the diamonds in my mirror
Only your gods will ever know
I am the jewel you'll never splinter or fracture
Should I stand by you

There's nothing I can say
To satisfy you
There's nothing I can say
But go your lonely way
There's nothing I can do
To satisfy you

Well it feels like tonight
I'm gonne lose, I've got to choose
Yeah it feels like tonight
I'm gonne lose, so all I wanna say is "fuck you"

There's nothing I can say
To satisfy you
There's nothing I can say
But go your lonely way
There's nothing I can do
To satisfy you
Go stagger your own way
Do what you wanna do
There's nothing I can say
To satisfy you


7. OUR SUMMER KILLS THE SUN

Well, it feels like summer
Well, it feels like home
Though the days burn hotter
Your heart grows cold

As summer kills the sun
We're half way gone
And now
Our summer kills the sun, gone

Well, it feels like trouble
When their words ring dull
As my face sweats fever
Idle tongues suck gold

As summer kills the sun
We're half way gone
And now
Our summer kills the sun, gone

As summer kills the sun
Our hearts lay dead and burned
Our summer kills the sun, gone

Sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun

As summer kills the sun
We're half way gone
Our summer kills the sun, gone

As summer kills the sun
Our hearts lay dead and burned
Our summer kills the sun, gone

As summer kills the sun
We're halfway gone
Our summer kills the sun
We're gone, gone

As summer kills the sun
Our hearts lay dead and burned
Our summer kills the sun, gone

Sun
Our hearts lay dead and burned
Sun
As summer kills the sun
Sun
Baby I'm gone

Sun
Our hearts lay dead and burned
Sun
Our hearts will never learn
As summer kills the sun, gone


8. DROWNING

I never called you a liar
Till you slayed the truth
You said you'd set me on fire
Well you just scorched my roots

I never was a believer
In your bloated kings
Your gods are underachievers
With unguarded whims

So now we are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning

The consequence is unfurling, unfurling, unfurling
We're falling, falling, falling
And drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning

I tried to reason for duty
You produced a spin
You're motivated by beauty
And the desire to win

Shadows converging breaking
Cold hand shaking
You beat me till I'm tamed
Instead of calming my fury
You just fanned the flames

So now we are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning

The consequence is unfurling, unfurling, unfurling
We're falling, falling, falling
And drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning

So now we are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning

So now we are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning

The consequence is unfurling, unfurling, unfurling
We're falling, falling, falling
And drowning, drowning, drowning
We are drowning


9. THIS IS NOT A GAME

We bathe in the illusion
That you will care for us
Your silence breeds confusion
And the world goes bust

We fight for our survival
Like some old sad cliche
Their failure have no rivals
But shame

This is not a game
People's suffrage
This is not a circus
This is not a game

You scream for some explosion
Then smother all faint sparks
There's power in confusion
To be gained

This is not a game
People's suffrage
This is not a circus
This is not a game
People are in pain
This is no illusion
This is not a game

This is not a game, game, game
This is not a game
People's suffrage
This is not a circus
This is not a game
People are in pain
This is no illusion
This is not a game


10. STICKY FINGERS IN YOUR HONEY

They might say
Come inside
The devils and their monkeys
They want to fight

Try to make you feel good
Nice and cool
Waiting for forgiveness
Nothing new, nothing new, nothing new

All they want is your money
Sticky fingers in your honey
All they want is your money
Sticky fingers in your honey

Occupy
Southern lies
Power to the people
With old school ties

Nothing's gonna change
Till you smash it up
Televise the vision
Never learn
You never learn
You never learn

All they want is your money
Sticky fingers in your honey
All they want is your money
Sticky fingers in your honey

All they want is your money
Sticky fingers in your honey
All they want is your money
Sticky fingers in your honey...


11. DIVING DOWN

I should be walking on air
But I'm drowning with my
Hands around your neck
Current is strong
Should I take you with me
Breath forever gone
I should have broken my fault
I should stand up for myself
For what is worth.

You are all I see
As I lose my dream
Still I keep on diving,
Keep on diving down down down

I should be floating on air
But I'm falling slowly
Drag you down oh well
Moment is long
No one stays to watch my black pray to hell
Our sentiment go
I will stand up for myself
For what is worth.

You are all I see
As I lose my dream
Still I keep on diving
Keep on diving down down down

Cause there's a hole
That I see
There's a hole
Coming back to me
Cause there's a hole
That I see
Coming back back back

Still I keep on diving
Keep on diving down down down

You are all I see
As I lose my dream
Still I keep on diving
Keep on diving down down down down
(x2)
