Don't want to think too much
It makes me think too much
It keeps my mind on my mind

Don't want to see too much
It makes me see too much
Sometimes I'd rather be blind

All the things that they're saying, doing
It overloads me
Too much static
I want to disconnect myself
Pull my brain out and go deep inside
I want to pull it out

Too damn bad if at the end of the day
The only thoughts in your brain are all the things that they say
What a waste
Too damn bad if at the end of the line
you have no idea what's on your own mind
You got no one to blame but yourself

I should have seen my end coming from a long way off
My friend said man she'll give you the blues, don't get caught
But I went ahead and told myself a bunch of lies
And spent night after hammered night getting back my mind

I am a fool when I think I need you
I'm a fool to believe
My heart is so wide open
I'm so easy to deceive
I'm a fool I'll keep believing
Like a fool I'll believe it all
I'm a fool who'll keep on coming
And like a fool, I will crawl

I waste time in my mind thinking of you - I'm a fool I know
And it hurts to take the pain over and over - I'm a fool I know
I keep wrecking myself when I should be healing my wounds
I'm a fool I know
Self mutilation is the only thing that I know - I'm a fool I know

I've watched your front teeth sharpen and I've felt your muscles flex
You have the kind of eyes that turn mere mortals into wrecks
I know first hand so well all the hard times you direct
Seduced rejected reduced ejected again

All eyes turned up to the hero
Charismatic icon animal man
Lyrical visionary caught in the spotlight
The more you make, the more you get it right, right?

Nothing can stop you
No one can bring you down
Don't give a thought to tomorrow
You're the man right now

It doesn't matter what you say
Because they always find some meaning in it anyway
Make them feel like they're part of some big event
They'll be too busy cheering to wonder where your talent went

They really need you
They've got to have you
You're the only one who understands

Slender messiah, god with a song
Turned strung out wreck who stuck around too long
Tragic hero coming down hard
The joke's on you, you got played like a deck of cards

Paying the price of fame
Under the weight of the flames

Feel the backlash
Watch the tables turn
Now you need them
Feel the fire burn

All eyes turned up to the hero
Strung out self abusive circus freak
One thing that you might not know
There'll be another messiah right here next week

I'm sitting in my room in your prison doing time
Bars on my windows because your not so good at crime
Standing on the corner with nothing in your head
Shirt on your back and a gun in your pants
Thinking you're the man but you're only a stand in
Standing in line to be the next bad guy
I see what you do when you use what you got
But what do you do when you do what you want

You're so civilized
You get brutalized
I see you get yourself cut down

Getting your mind off some guy's record
Making his money off fools like you
Singin' about killing like it ain't no thing
But you'll do the time when you live it for real
Paying his way from your Death Row cell
You're the last one to see that you got sold out
I hear you say you hate pigs so much
Then why the hell do you act like one

A gun in your hand makes a fool out of you
A gun in your hand makes a target out of me
Freedom?
You want your freedom
You can't handle freedom
You're dying for it

They've killed me
They've tied my hands with rope
And now they drag me up the street
A woman is struggling to kick me in my skull
If she could she would kill me again
I can see her teeth shine
As she kicks at my dirt covered eyes so blind
Oh mother they hate me so much
The hatred's real
And now it's mine

They sit below me
Stare up and shout threats at my nakedness
Their tongues are hanging from out of their mouths
I hope they don't tear me limb from limb
So much noise
So much hatred
So much violence
They love me
Oh they'd kill to have me
They'd have to kill me
They're hatred's pure, I am devine

When you kick me / When you rape me
When you burn me / When you break me
When you cut me / I am devine
Your devine object of hatred

Show me how you really are
Show me how you really feel
Let me know you really care
Let me know your hatred's real
I trust you when you hate me
Abuse me with all your heart
It's why I'm here
I'm your devine object of hatred

You hate me
I can see that it's real
You do things to me
That you never thought you would
You hurt me
You'll never know what I feel
What you bring me
I never thought you could
Give me more
Make me stronger
High on your poison
I am devine

You think you're going to live your life alone in darkness and seclusion
You've been out there and tried to mix with the animals
It left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back to your room and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the street
You're desperate and in need
And then you meet me and you whole world changes
Everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
You drop your defenses and your ego obscures reality
You're so busy feeling good
You're feeling so lucky
That you never question why things are going so well
You want to know why
I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me

I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
I'll tell you things that you already know
So you can say
I really identify with you
All the time you're needing me
Is just the time I'm bleeding you
I'll come to you like an affliction
I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me

I don't know why
I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something deep inside
Maybe it's something I can't explain
All I do is mess you up and lie to you

If you'll give me one more chance I swear I'll never lie again
Now I see the destructive power of a lie
They're stronger than truth
I'm sorry, I can't believe I ever hurt you
I will never lie again

You're so fucking weak
You disgust me
It's a drag when you bring me down
All the things you say
No one cares anyway
But then you've got to deal with me

I see through the lies
To the bottom of your eyes
Your fake charisma pulls you through
The hous of cards that you built
On the cheap shot guilt
Doesn't mean a fucking thing to me

You're pathetic and weak
You're a fake and you lie
I'd like to crush you like an insect
But I don't want to do the time
Do you really want to confront me?
Do you really want to deal woth me?
No
I didn't think so

You step back
Or you fall down

You say we're all the same
You don't even know my name
Sometime somewhere some man hurt you
I'm one of them so I get stuck with the blame
You think you know about me
You don't know a damn thing about me

I'm not all men, just one man, I'm not all men

There's one subject that everyone enjoys
I heard the boys talk the talk to the boys
I heard the girls talk the talk to the girls
It's all the same noise, neither one's worse
I didn't always tell the truth
But then again, neither did you

I'm not all men
I'm just one man
I'm not that man
I'm not all men

Get away and leave me well alone
Take your damage and take it back on home
I'm not the blame for your misery
Take your threats away from me
Take that damage and leave me all alone

I won't try to patronize you
And tell you that I know exactly what you've been through
You know it just might be
That you have no problem with me
I'm not a rapist in waiting
I'm not the one you should be hating

You take your fear and you pull it inside
It builds up and rage starts to rise
You turn it loose and your anger is blind
And you see me as the enemy
That's not the way it ought to be

You generalize and tell me lies
Like all I want's between you thighs
All the things that I put you through
And all the things that I might do
Don't wonder when I run away
When you tell me it's my time to pay
For all the tears and all the pain
For all the terrible things I never did

I spend time searching my mind, walking blindly
I'm a live but I don't kow why, my thoughts plague me
Paranoia, fear and guilt, I hope I don't explode
I'm a bomb that I can't diffuse, a gun I can't unload

I don't listen, I don't know, man I don't care
Talking about all the Hell that you've seen, man I live there
Talk to me and it goes right through, I never heard a word you said
Save your breath, it's no use, you're talking to the living dead

Bullet driven eyes
What can you tell me
I'm living in a nightmare

I'm on the edge shrinking back from the ledge
Looking out my window down upon my heritage
Strip malls, thin walls, people paralyzed beneath the sun
Why me why now
I see the dirty millions and try to survive somehow

Got no reason got no need
I hear gunshots I hear screams
What can you do to me
What can you say
I used to be alive but I threw it all away
I used to have problems
I used to live a lie
But then I saw the sidewalk bleed and I watched his mother cry
I used to use my mind
I used to wonder why
Now I go from day to day and wait around to die
Like He did

I'm so tired of myself
I'm tired in my sleep
I'm so tired of my lies
I'm tired of the secrets that I keep
I'm so tires of looking inside myself
Trying to find something
I'm getting tired

And I know I need something
Because the grind is burning me out
I don't want to hurt one of them
But I'll do it
I'm getting tired

I'm so tired of the things that I hear
I'm so tired of the things that I fear
I've never seen the end so clear
I'm getting tired

I know I need something to make me live
Because the grind is pounding me down
I don't want to kill one of these walking insects
But I'll do it
I'm getting tired

You reached out
You got burned
Made tough by the lessons you learned
You never thought they could be so mean
Be so hard and cause you so much pain
Like a fool
You tired again
You really wanted to be their friend
But looking back you see they just wasted your time
Self loathing
The anger inside
You covered it up with pride
You always found a way to blame it on yourself

So mad
So mean
The pain remained unseen
All that time spent up wanting to explode
What they did
The things they said
You wished that you were dead
Anything not to deal with them
They made you hate
You couldn't wait
To go out and do something great
Turn around and throw it right back in their face

Looking back you get yourself together
Looking back you see the hatred inside
Now you see that you get to change your mind about yourself
And get to move on
Looking back you see you just wasted your time
Looking back you can see all you've got is yourself
You can tell by the look in their eyes

Now you see
How you are
The wisdom mixed in with all the scars
Watching all the fools
They never knew
They never do
It was always up to you
You gotta get it for yourself
You never were
One of them
They could have never been our friends
The best revenge is to always survive yourself

Don't want to think too much
It makes me think too much
It keeps my mind on my mind

Don't want to see too much
It makes me see too much
Sometimes I'd rather be blind

All the things that they're saying, doing
It overloads me
Too much static
I want to disconnect myself
Pull my brain out and go deep inside
I want to pull it out

Too damn bad if at the end of the day

And like a fool, I will crawl

I waste time in my mind thinking of you - I'm a fool I know
And it hurts to take the pain over and over - I'm a fool I know
I keep wrecking myself when I should be healing my wounds
I'm a fool I know
Self mutilation is the only thing that I know - I'm a fool I know

I've watched your front teeth sharpen and I've felt your muscles flex
You have the kind of eyes that turn mere mortals into wrecks
I know first hand so well all the hard times you direct
Seduced rejected reduced ejected again

They'll be too busy cheering to wonder where your talent went

They really need you
They've got to have you
You're the only one who understands

Slender messiah, god with a song
Turned strung out wreck who stuck around too long
Tragic hero coming down hard
The joke's on you, you got played like a deck of cards

Paying the price of fame
Under the weight of the flames

Feel the backlash
Watch the tables turn
Now you need them
Feel the fire burn

All eyes turned up to the hero
Strung out self abusive circus freak
One thing that you might not know

If I listened to everything they said to me I wouldn't be here
If I took the time tp bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way I wouldn't be here
The ones who don't do anything are the always the ones who try to put you down
You could spend your entire life in the nowhere land of self doubt
When you start to doubt yourself
The real world will eat you alive

It's time to align your body with your mind
It's hero time
It's time to align your body with your mind
It's time to shine

I'm talking to you. Hero time starts right now

If you think you've got 100 extra years to mess around you're wrong
This time is real. Your time is now. It's hero time.

Hard times are getting harder
The liars are acting strong
You better get a grip on yourself
Or you won't be around too long

No such thing as spare time
No such thing as free time
No such thing as down time
All you got is life time

I got grace in times of friction
I got truth in times of fiction
I got no time for the hype
Suicide? Sorry man I'm not that type

No time for drug addiction
No time for smoke and booze
Too strong for a shortened life span
I've got no time to lose
SHINE
If I listened to everything they said to me I wouldn't be here
If I took the time tp bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way I wouldn't be here
The ones who don't do anything are the always the ones who try to put you down
