I'm a mister, you're a mistress I'm a gentleman, you're a lady You should use pink, I should use blue You pee sitting, I pee standing Heads are gonna roll (2x) I'm a brother, you're a sister You had better not dress like this If it wasn't for my holy ribs Then you wouldn't be existing Heads are gonna roll (2x) Everyone knows (4x) It's dark there, don't go that way It could be no way back Don't resist, I'll treat you well You fight this way, I get erect Everyone knows (4x)
2.
I believe that I'm all incredulous Shapes of shade standing tall and vanishing I'm supposed to take coffee in buildings Eyes no eyes playing sad this tacit game CHORUS Keepin' on, keepin' on Keepin' on refusing Creepin' on, creepin' on Creepin' on my vomit Keepin' on, keepin' on Keepin' on regurgitating Creepin' on, creepin' on Creepin' on my own shit I feel that I'm always rotting Like a baby that has to taste a junkie's milk They just want my body, mind and soul to rape Coins of gold, golden awards and nobel prizes CHORUS A hero in Hollywood A pope on the pop charts A virgin's reality show An exclusive with Jesus Christ

Chew Me 03:47
There is a big fat pain It smells like naphtalene It keeps me away from myself The noseblood taste is heavily true I feel so constipated Like losing all the rounds I stand on hollow bones And just can barely keep me up CHORUS I've been feeling like flaw since then Trying hard not to recall, no more So chew my heart and spit it out Leave this blurry smelly matter There is a hell loud sound Just like a tap that leaks And keeps me away from sleeping This grief is really hard to tune I feel my guts bleeding A steaming gory soup A daily hostile feast But puking pain is not so rude CHORUS I've been feeling like flaw since then Trying hard not to recall, no more So chew my heart and spit it out Leave this blurry smelly matter
4.
I'm very messed up I'm very messed up, yeah I'm overbored I'm overbored, yeah I try to find any sense, comprehend this void I'd rather melt in the sand than grow roots in a stone. Upset and upside down (4x) I'm very fucked up I'm very fucked up, yeah I try to mingle and forget how disgusting you are I'll feel disgusted about me if I force it too far Unstable undertow (4x) Way down (3x) Fill in my soul Filling my soul Feel in my soul Feeling my soul
5.
To reply that old question of yours I don't mind remembering at all To find joy in bleeding to finally restore That's the reason why every blues is blue And I feel like more (4x) To fulfill that old will of mine I'll place myself in the fire line I'll get hurt but nevermind Sometimes pain simply worth the fight And I feel like more (4x)
6.
You speak too much, my baby You act too little You know the codes and keys You ignore the doors PRE-CHORUS: There's no use for quoting statements You never seek So hard to make things happen Harder to sink CHORUS: Whisper in silence "The world is unfair" Scream at the bathroom mirror Listen to great advices "He doesn't deserve you" Easier to discard than building You sleep too much, my baby You wake too little You know the right and wrong You choose the games PRE-CHORUS: There's no use for quoting statements You never seek So hard to make things happen Harder to sink CHORUS: Whisper in silence "The world is unfair" Scream at the bathroom mirror Listen to great advices "He doesn't deserve you" Easier to discard than building
7.
There are footsteps on the floor Covering the corridor Spreading blood and anguish There's no window on the wall Or a "welcome" on the rug Oxygen is luxury CHORUS: If I see you passing by Would I scream or paralyze? Maybe cause an accident? Last night I dreamt about you Or was that a nightmare? There are memories on the floor All over the corridor Spreading dust and loneliness There's no canvas on the wall Or a "get out" on the rug Affection is legend CHORUS: If I see you passing by Would I scream or paralyze? Maybe cause an accident? Last night I dreamt about you Or was that a nightmare? You're getting over me
8.
Monkey Wants 04:05
Monkey wants bananas Twice a year the summer Monkey wants a recess And a time to rest Monkey wants a pillow To sleep under a ceiling Monkey wants no sweating To deserve what it wishes Oh, full time cynical CHORUS Lift your ass up from the chair And do the twist 'Cause the music ain't dancing itself Keep your head above the water And do the swim There's no gift sprouting under your tree Monkey wants a donut Extra cream and meringue Monkey wants it easy And it wants it faster Monkey wants a Corona That fancy beer from Mexico Monkey bets on the horses Working hard is for losers Oh, full time worthless CHORUS Lift your ass up from the chair And do the twist 'Cause the music ain't dancing itself Keep your head above the water And do the swim There's no gift sprouting under your tree
9.
Spill your pain over a blank space and Let it flow through your guitar Colour it in gray and black shades and Scream between the guitar lines The baby was swimming and you couldn't stand All that happened all at once You tried it hard but you couldn't expect You didn't mean to be godlike CHORUS It went oh so deep It hit so hard It was just too big It went too far They turned your life into a dying hell Of magazines about your smell You couldn't see all the great things Outside the needle that you hid in It got to an awful point that You hated yourself and wanted to die There were too many humans That you couldn't deal with CHORUS It went oh so deep It hit so hard It was just too big It went too far The world wasn't enough People weren't enough

Worms 05:56
He floods his house with everything He owns so much angst and agony He soars on thru the chaos of belief He spots a shining dot but it's currency What for? Damn worms... He feeds his thoughts like watering A plant, dry dreadful branches and no leaves At all, but roots keep moving into deeper Holes, like tumors on metastasis Where to? Damn worms...
