I don't wanna be here But i don't wanna go Must be love because I’m miserable and all alone I need you forever I wish we'd never met Just because you come doesn't mean that we're finished yet Oh oh got everything that I wanted Oh oh and I got nothin' I got nothin' Babe I got a feelin' This'll never end I don't need much I just need you to carry all my sin Love ain't nothin' but us Tryin' to settle scores Well babe I'm winning cause it's my blood covering the floors Oh oh got everything that I wanted Oh oh and I got nothin' I got nothin' Tell me all your secrets And I might give you one of mine You can always tell the truth cause everything we know's a lie You know I wanna be here You know I wanna go Must be love because we're dyin' and we can't let go I got nothin'

I don't wanna be free Just wanna be the one to build my cage Something to contain all this rage I don't wanna be seen I wanna disappear without a trace Be forgotten don't remember my face It's the same old lie Build a dream, watch it die Don't give up pay the price No one wins til you die Oh oh oh Singin' requiems for the damned Oh oh oh In this radio wonderland I think i used to have faith But I can't remember the prayer I think God is just pretending to care Maybe crazy’s the new sane Now all my personalities can run free Play together in the sandbox with me Oh oh oh Singin' requiems for the damned Oh oh oh In this radio wonderland I don't wanna be free Just wanna be the one to build my cage Something to contain all this rage Oh oh oh Singin' requiems for the damned Oh oh oh In this radio wonderland

Go ahead and try to find a seat in the back of my mind Never know who you're gonna meet, I'm sure you'll get along find Demons & regrets screamin' we won't let you forget But i can't seem to find my clothes Thanks for comin' out I hope you enjoy the show Tick tock goes the clock on the wall, but I'm all out of time You don't know the show's about you, but i forgot all my lines Dancin' thru the aisles with a partner doesn't smile So I guess i'll take some pills and cry Thanks for comin' out but you probably shoulda stayed home tonight Ooooh oooh ooohh Rover rover oohh oooh ooh Send depression over Oh oh Baby I'm doin' great I found a way to numb the pain Broken heart and painted face Rock n roll n tanqueray I might be a little bit drunk but that's not why I'm cryin' I'm starin' at the eyes of my soul and I just wanna die I could be just what you need if you would only make me leave & never have to see my face again But this is true love so we kill each other again and again Ooooh oooh ooohh Rover rover oohh oooh ooh Send depression over Oh oh Baby I'm doin' great I found a way to numb the pain Broken heart and painted face Go ahead and try to find a seat in the back of my mind Oh oh Baby I'm doin' great I found a way to numb the pain Broken heart and painted face

You said if i was weary I was burdened I could come to you, right? You said to take the yoke because you’re gentle and the burden is light Well I'm dyin' getting crushed gettin' smashed under the weight of my mind So tell me did hear you wrong, or was everything just a lie Knock know you'll open bullshit I'm still here outside in the freezin' cold Knock knock you'll open bullshit I hear voices but the prodigal ain't welcome home. The prodigal ain't welcome home You said if i just shut up i would hear you whisper to me in the quiet You said be still & know but I feel crazy on this island I've shown you all my demons you don't see cause you won't look my way Can't be bothered by this altar soaked in blood there're more important lives to waste Knock know you'll open bullshit I'm still here outside in the freezin' cold Knock knock you'll open bullshit I hear voices but the prodigal ain't welcome home. The prodigal ain't welcome home SOLO Knock know you'll open bullshit I'm still here outside in the freezin' cold Knock knock you'll open bullshit I hear voices but the prodigal ain't welcome home. The prodigal ain't welcome home

I don't wanna be well adjusted I don't wanna be fine I don't wanna be someone trusted I don't wanna be kind I don't wanna be a stand up citizen I don't wanna be brave I don't wanna be someone who listens I don't wanna be saved Mirror mirror be my killer Life is such a beautiful game I don't wanna be safe and happy I don't wanna be loved I don't wanna be wild and care free I don't wanna have fun I just wanna take nothin' with me No memories and no name I don't want any of your forgiveness I kinda like all the shame Mirror mirror be my killer We all lose I still wanna play Mirror mirror be my killer Life is such a beautiful game I don't want any of your love and peace I wanna start a fuckin' war Always livin' life on your knees Beggin for a little bit more All the prayin' has left us with nothin' Bunch of good little slaves Give me the blood and fire Scorch the earth for some fame Mirror mirror be my killer Stare into the eyes of the flames Mirror mirror i'm your killer Life is such a beautiful game

There's somethin' in the water that you gave me and It's makin' me mad But I keep drinkin' cause i'm more comfortable bein' sad You deserve better but you want me so it's me that you have do you ever ask destiny if she would take it all back I want everything just everything you know cause I'm a fool I want everything but all i've ever needed is you Is You There's something off inside my head that has me seein' dark when it's light Has me seein hell when you're just offerin' me paradise Your love is like a mirror and i don't like what i see lookin' back So I'll just close my eyes and let you tell me who you think that I am I just wanna be alone cause I can't live life like you do I just wanna be alone just please leave me alone with you With You If it's good i'll try to fight it But you keep fighting and I think I like it I don't want what I think I do I just wanna die with you You

Somebody light me on fire let it burn the skin off of my bones Maybe I can kill these desires If I don't have a body trappin' my soul maybe you can cut me up into little pieces & put em' in your drink, get drunk and set me free maybe you can cut me up into little pieces & put em on a rings, diamonds for the queen Somebody hold me underwater Steal the air from outta my lungs Drown the sins of our fathers make brand new sins for all of our sons maybe you can cut me up into little pieces put em in your mouth, suck the darkness out maybe you can cut me up into little pieces & put em on a crown, new jewelry for the clowns
