13. My reflection
1. Can't fix a broken girl
Spit that joint out of your mouth
Go get a job!
The more I knew, the less I liked
There’s something in your head
That distorts your sight
So you say it’s your “escape”
Yet you walk the world in a daze
You cry as you drown in pollution
And you know I can’t fix
The broken girl
2. It's better to be alone
A lust for sleep is pushing me
It’s the fuel I need
My time in you, keeps you alive
But it wears me thin
I’m so tired of the focus towards others
When there’s emptiness in my stare
It’s better to be alone…than to
wish you were
I’ve wasted so much time
The time I need for me
And the time to be alone
It’s better to be alone
Than to wish you were
3. Your agenda
Breaking my balls, I broke my balls again
For years and years, it starts to wear me thin
Another call, yet another call from you
You pour it out, all on me
It’s your agenda, I won’t surrender
I’m on the burner again
Cut by these razors, for the last time
I won’t surrender, to your agenda
4. Actress
So all is well, is what it seemed
A portrait of faith and what is clean
I never gave that much, but for you efforts
I dub thee queen
Pollution pours into you as
Devotion pours out of you
It runs just like a stream
Underneath it, claws dig dirt
To bring out all your worth
Just to show us how you deceive
So many will fall prey
Some others just walk away
I never gave that much, so raise a toast
And let the lies begin
Pollution pours into you as
Devotion pours out of you
It runs just like a stream
Underneath it, claws dig dirt, so suck it
To bring out all your worth, you’re an actress
Just to show us how you suck it
5. Swept away
I’ve been away
Swept away for so long
And I’ve tried to wash away
What I used to be
What a tangled web we weave
When we practice to deceive
I feel I’ve died a thousand times
Do you know what it’s like
To lose it, bit by bit
They come to me at night
And take it all away
Delusions in my sight
Tear at me, day after day
6. I won't let
You stab, you stab
You cry, you cry
You want, you want
You claw at me, everyday
I’m ugly
You're desperate
But I won’t let
I want to kill
I won’t let
You want in
I won’t let
Break me down again, again
I won't let
Instinct, this animal
I won't let
I want to kill
I won’t let
You take and take and take
I won't let
Drain my marrow
I won't let
Pour your sorrow
I won't let
I can't let!
7. Afflatus
…at this point now
I feel I’m lifeless
I want to leave this world behind
It has left me pail inside
Your hands they reach to me
But you’re reaching for something else
Where can I turn, when I can’t turn any more
Where do I go, when I can’t go any more
I feel that this is the end
I don’t know if it gets better
I’ve lost so mush sleep
The days run into each other
Sleep was my only salvation
Now that’s been taken away
Where can I turn, when I can’t turn any more
Where do I go, when I can’t go any more
8. The last
It’s been years since I’ve felt your ember
Time and distance, pushes further
In my mind, I still see your eyes
Knowing that you were the last
I drown in your memory nightly
Can’t you see, you were the last…
I drown, I drown
Can't you see, can't you see,
Can't you see, you were the last
I lost, the last...
9. A picture of you
For years I’ve carried your story
I’ve had your picture in my mind
A thousand times the thoughts of you
Always perfect like before
So they say that your picture says
A thousand different words
If it could say one
What would it say to me
If a man could find a thousand minds
Yet never find his own
He’d harbor these memories
Keep the embers from growing cold
So now I know that your picture
It said one word to me
And with this last farewell
Apathy prevails
I swim in a sea of isolation
My dreams, they mock me as I sleep
Heavy is the heart, that just won’t let
It go…
10. I'll make it alone
For years I’ve carried your story
I’ve had your picture in my mind
A thousand times the thoughts of you
Always perfect like before
So they say that your picture says
A thousand different words
If it could say one
What would it say to me
If a man could find a thousand minds
Yet never find his own
He’d harbor these memories
Keep the embers from growing cold
So now I know that your picture
It said one word to me
And with this last farewell
Apathy prevails
I swim in a sea of isolation
My dreams, they mock me as I sleep
Heavy is the heart, that just won’t let
It go…
11. Serpent
I can’t look at myself
I’ve lost respect
I’ve reached a new low
I’m reaching for selfishness
I know it’s wrong
But the serpent pulls me closer
To make me weak, she makes me weak
I can’t push away
My will is shot to shreds
What’s become of me
I feel I can’t resist
The thought of you has fully consumed me
My appetite is lost
I can do nothing else but think of you
How can you be the apple of my eye
When you’re in the basket of another
12. eToH
Your confidence is always so low
Your world collides as you crumble inside
Then you reach for that bottle again
This solution lets the show begin
And so now the bottle turns up
Increase the zest for the female form
Inebriation sows the seed once again
Your standards are all but gone
You pay the penance now
13. My reflection
Rolling, down the rail we roll
Hoping, things will run our way
So you’re pinned against it all
And you world is filled with strife
With only pity on your side
To fill yet another day
Angry, you walk the world alone
When time breaks your will
And your might to make a stand
Was it worth the time
When you lost your worth
Was it worth the sweat
Dripped from this broken brow
Rolling, down the rail again
Knowing, you walk the world alone
