You crave, you lure, you find , you stare, you smile
you make your move in
It all just seems to perfect
I’m lost in your charm
You’re faking
You take
You take
You’re taken
[Take! Take! Take!]
I heard
I heard you
You fake
You fake
You’re faking
[Fake! Fake! Fake!]
I heard you
I wanted more than you gave in
You see my eyes I’m craving
He’s just a risk I have to take
His fear of approach
I’m waiting
You take, you take
You’re taken
[Take! Take! Take!]
I heard
I heard you
You fake, you fake
You’re faking
[Fake! Fake! Fake!]
I heard you
Come on now girl, how you gon’ try to play me
Oh, you say you got a man? You doin’ me shady
Licking your lips at me got me going all crazy
Hitting me up through text messages and calling me baby
Playing games with my head knowing your faking
Why you all over me and you know that you’re taken
Say you’re exploring your options and it ain’t even like that
So why you hitting me up asking me for a nightcap?
You take, you take
You’re taken
[Take! Take! Take!]
I heard
I heard you
You fake, you fake
You’re faking
[Fake! Fake! Fake!]
I heard you

Chaos and Control
03:52
|
|||
|
My mind’s a machine gun
This nightmare’s become reality
Delusions of love
Lost in lust
I’ll take a chance
I’m not the one to trust here
Take my hand
Take this poison
Taste his fear
don’t make a move now
you’re sure to disappear
There’s no control
All is lost in this chaos
Feed the battle, Feed the battle
you lost
you’re gone
She’s here
She’s here
I taste her scent
She’s bliss
No, not who she once was
A frail imitation
A generic creation
I’m not the one to trust here
Take my hand
Take this poison
Taste his fear
don’t make a move now
you’re sure to disappear
There’s no control
All is lost in this chaos
Feed the battle, Feed the battle
you lost
you’re gone
I’ll take you away [3x]
I’ll take you…
Take this poison
Taste his fear
don’t make a move now
you’re sure to disappear
There’s no control
All is lost in this chaos
Feed the battle
Feed the battle
you lost
you’re gone

Down

And again, so here we go
No we ain’t getting out alive
It’s an explosion
One on one
Oh, a head on collide
And again, so here we go
Don’t let me finish my song
What a surprise
This is the truth
Oh, baby I don’t lie
Down, Down, I’ll take you down
Down
Down, down, I’ll take you down
Down
Down, down, down.
And again, so there you go
I see you marching out of time
They fucked you up
Payback’s a bitch
I see you cannot run and hide
And again, to there you go
I never thought that this could end
You played it off over again
No babe you cannot win
Down, Down, I’ll take you down
Down
Down, down, I’ll take you down
Down
Down, down, down.
I’ll take you down
I’ll take you down
Down bitch!
Down, Down, I’ll take you down
Down
Down, down, I’ll take you down
Down
Down, down, down.

About A Boy
03:39

And I wait for you
Idly linger around you
Surrounded by and unwanted crowd
Drifting off on a perfect stare
I feel those eyes
Crashing down
I want you to
You want me, too
I want…
You.
And yet I sit still
Confused
Constantly left pining over you
Blinded by your lies
I’m infatuated
All of this madness that you created
With those eyes
Crashing down
I want you to
You want me, too
I want…
You.
Anonymous you
Oh baby I do
My wild imagination set untrue
Figments of you
Scenarios of us two
I close my eyes
I feel your hands
Before you get too close
You.
Anonymous you
Notice me
Make my dreams become reality
What can I do
I can’t say that I love you
But I do
I love you
It keeps me coming back to…
You.

Untitled For Now

I can’t, I can’t quite find the words to make this convincing to you
My wild imagination get’s the fucking best of me
and I can’t help but to be left here
Drifting off on pheromones
“It’s not right”
Spilled from his lips
“We’ve got a bond too strong for this”
Maybe he’s right
Maybe I’m wrong
He can’t tell me he didn’t fall for me
By the ending of this song
You know who you are
Baby I’m right
You’ve kept me here far too long
So, quit putting up a fight
A heavy heartbeat, heavy heartbeat with the simple thought of you
pathetically left love-sick and it’s genuine and true
I swear that every time our eyes meet
still drifting off on pheromones
“It’s not right”
Spilled from his lips
“We’ve got a bond too strong for this”
Maybe he’s right
Maybe I’m wrong
He can’t tell me he didn’t fall for me
By the ending of this song
You know who you are
Baby I’m right
You’ve kept me here far too long
So, quit putting up a fight
We’re going nowhere fast
With you in control
I’ve fallen way too fast
I’m too frightened to let you know
That I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling for you
I’m falling, I’ve fallen, I’ve fallen for you
I can’t help it when you glance at me, my mind just drifts away
I’m lost between your lips and the simple words you say
I can’t take this shit confusion
and the childish games you play
“It should be right”
Spilled from my lips
“We’ve got a bond just right for this”
I guess I was right
Baby, you’re wrong
You can’t tell me you didn’t fall for me

Burning Paper
02:52
|

|
This is not the way that this was planned
This is not the way that this was supposed to be
The burning paper
The burning paper
The burning paper of my disappointment
Now I’m standing in the cold
Going back and forth and trying to make it right
Oh, if only you would know
This is not the way I hoped to spend my night
Oh, how I long for the taste of it to grace my lips
Oh, how I long for that feeling
At this point I would take anything that works
That’s how fucking desperate I am
Now I’m standing in the cold
Going back and forth and trying to make it right
Oh, if only you would know
This is not the way I hoped to spend my night
Oh, we’re going nowhere fast
Blinded like some fucking bats
Maybe soon we’ll get to where we want
What’s the point?
Now I’m standing in the cold
Going back and forth and trying to make it right
Oh, if only you would know
This is not the way I hoped to spend my night
This is not the way I hoped to spend my night
This is not the way I hoped to spend my night
This is not the way I hoped to spend my night

Four Leaves

I’m glowing in green
I’m your lucky charm
But, I am unseen
I’ve made a mess of us in my mind
I apologize
He’s too fickle
Too fake
Oh, too furious
He’s far too unkind
I’ve a sick, sick compulsion
Undefined
Unfinished
Never mind
I don’t care! I don’t care!
I take it back
I give you back
I want me back
I don’t care!
I was sent to be a god
You’re a peasant amongst me
Somehow I melt down at your feet
Please bow down to me
He’s sculpted to perfect
Can’t draw my eyes away from thee
He brings me heat I can’t describe
So, never mind
I don’t care! I don’t care!
I take it back
I give you back
I want me back
I don’t care!
I don’t care! I don’t care!
I take it back
I give you back
I want me back
I don’t care!
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care

Cover Up
03:39
|

|
Like nothing I’ve ever felt
A world of sexual ecstasy
More than my mind can take
An addiction that I can control
An addiction that I chose not to let go
An infatuation that’s impossible to subside
An infatuation covered up with pointless lies
Covered up
Trapped in these four walls
With your back facing up
Under the sheets
Covered up
Covered up
With knowing what we’re doing is wrong
and doing what we feel is right
Nothing’s gonna stop us
No, baby not tonight
A silhouette in the light of all of this
All of this darkness
Moving with the pulse of my heart
Pulling my soul closer
and closer to an orgasmic halt
Covered up
Trapped in these four walls
With your back facing up
Under the sheets
Covered up
Covered up
Like nothing else in this world
The passionate cries of an angel
Like nothing else in this world
Taste buds caressing every pore
Leaving you coming back for more
Covered up
Trapped in these four walls
With your back facing up
Under the sheets
Covered up
Covered up

Method To Madness
06:10

Killed it dropped it youth down the drain
Beauty queen I drove her insane
Sooner or later you’ll catch fire
Now I know you’re a fucking liar
Idiotic infatuation to drive my soul insane
My fault, my fault
Baby, I’ll take all the blame
Now love’s become too fucking cynical
Give it up, give it all away
My tank is far from full
Never wanted
Always wanted
Win or lose
Don’t pick, don’t choose
Test the water, now
It won’t be much longer
[2x]
Recycled the same old shit
Same kisses lust
Same fuck
Maybe in some twisted way
This is all just my bad luck
Now I’ve become too fucking cynical
Give it up throw it all away
I’ll never tell a soul
Never wanted
Always wanted
Win or lose
Don’t pick, don’t choose
Test the water, now
It won’t be much longer
[2x]
A broken heart for a case of normalcy
A safe life lived for my broken sanity
One more step, take a look inside of me
One more push take a breath inside of me
[2x]
There’s no method to this madness
Win or lose
Don’t pick, don’t choose
Test the water, now
It won’t be much longer
[2x]

Use Me
02:11
|
|||
|
I’m only here for a second
I won’t waste my time on you
I shouldn’t waste me breath on
Any word spoken to you
and in these broken hands I hold
My wasted life I spent on you
Secrets kept that I’ll take to the grave
And in these broken hands a hold
A fucked up spirit left unfixed
A spirit unwilling to change
Go on and use me
I never thought you’d end up here
Psychopathic delusional fear
My questions gone unanswered
Your twisted thoughts let me in tears
And in these broken hands I hold
My bottled shame and nothing much
Wasted days and nights
On a wasted soul
And in these broken hands I hold
A broken mind I cannot fix
All of this shit left out of my control
Go on and use me

Perfect Angel
02:36
|

|
Oh, fuck your hallway
Oh, fuck your doorway
they may be watching
yeah, they certainly know
You’ve gone cold
I’ve gone cold
She Is a privilege
A necessity
Suffocate on her love
The bitch you wish you owned
She’s an angel
A perfect angel
You’ve gone cold
I’ve gone cold
The sight, the thought, the jealousy
The hate, regret I’m gonna break
I’ve lost control
The touch, the taste and the sound
The scent, the bliss
Eternal bliss
She’s an angel
The Perfect Angel

Bittersweet
03:37

Here it goes once again
another sappy-ass fucking love song
let it slip that I’m way more than just love sick
Whoa, baby it’s been way too long
it’s bittersweet
Those piercing eyes never looked so tempting
against my skin you left me trembling
if all we had was an innocent stare
I’d re-live it over and over and over again
Forever
Can’t get the thought of you out of my mind
despite all the shit that you do
why are you so far away?
All alone, I’m left here to stay
Its bittersweet
Those piercing eyes never looked so tempting
against my skin you left me trembling
If all we had was an innocent stare
I’d re-live it over and over and over again
Forever
Racing, pounding machine gun in my chest
I’m melting at your feet
Baby, what a mess
Secretly, I’m yours
A secret far too hard for me to keep
It’s bittersweet
