To destroy his seed

Iīll give you one good tiny reason

To undo the wrong Iīve done

I am a grieving man

I am a guilty man
And I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you

I give you one good tiny reason
To push that big suit too far
I give you one good tiny reason
To smash him and his big car
Everybody things Iīm blue
And what everybody thinks is true yeah
I just canīt keep it inside
So you think itīs you
So you think itīs true
You know a little bit lasts a long time
You know a little bit goes a long way

And the time has come
To undo the wrong Iīve done

And I am a grieving man
I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you
I am a beaten man
I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you

And I am a blood-soaked man
I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you
I am a guilty man
I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you
And I am a grieving man
I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you
I am a beaten man
I canīt believe the things Iīve done to you

6. Take A Picture


Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real

Could you take my picture
īCuz I wonīt remember
Could you take my picture
īCuz I wonīt remember
Could you take my picture
īCuz I wonīt remember
Could you take my picture
īCuz I wonīt remember
Yeah

I donīt believe in
I donīt believe in
In your sanctity
Your privacy
I donīt believe in
I donīt believe in
Sanctity
A hypocrisy
Could everyone agree that
No one should be left alone
Could everyone agree that
They should not be left alone yeah
And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming

Chorus

Hey dad what do you think about your son now
Ah hey dad what do you think about your son now

Chorus (Four Times)



7. Skinny


So here you are in your small little world
Kept up like a little precious virgin girl
To hear ībout your grace and your silly face
Wrapped up like a knot in a ball of shoelace
And everytime I talk to you
It sounds like youīre caught in a psychological flu

Donīt ever let them see you cheat
Donītī ever let them see you bleed
Donīt ever let them shake your hand
Donīt ever let them believe that scam

Chorus:
Skinny
And it will make you cry
Skinny
And it will make you lie
Skinny
And if it makes you soft inside
Skinny
At least you will not die

And if you take a good look at them
All caught up in their graciousless win
Every sin is their seamless smile
Will go on for a countless while
And just because they think they won
It just means that the shit has just begun

Donīt ever let them see you cheat
Donīt ever let them see you beat
Donīt ever let them shake your hand
Donīt ever let them believe that scam

Yeah, skinny, skinny, huh



8. I Will Lead You


Come along take a ride īcross this sky for an hour
Leave your mind take your soul fill the hole with flowers
From the lake through the trees in the streets for the powder
In the creed for the freeze I gotta place for this power

īCuz I am a lie
īCuz I am a lie
īCuz I am a lie
īCuz I am a lie

I will lead you for awhile
Take you place to place
Bring you to this pyre
See you face to face

Come along to this flick take your sympathy with your symphony
See this dish a wonderful wish itīs the perfect kiss itīs the real thing
See the pitch itīs the greatest of hits itīs the missing with the wishing
At least you caught a smile when you coughed awhile when you did this kissing

īCuz I am a lie
īCuz I am a lie
īCuz I am a lie
īCuz I am a lie

I will lead you
I will lead you

See you face to face
Face to face
See you face to face
Face to face
Yeah
See you face to face
Face to face
I see you face to face
Yeah



9. Cancer


I cross the oceans
I cross the seas
I cross the mountains
Like a new disease
I cross the borders
I cross the line
Never to see the light
īTill the end of time
Iīve seen the canyons
Iīve seen the cities
Iīve seen the prisons
That take such pity
When it comes to you
When it comes to me
Itīs just money
Thatīll set you free

Hey my children what seems important
Wonīt last forever
Hey my children what seems important
Wonīt last forever

Take a look at the Earth
From a plane
Youīll see the Earth
Cut up and in pain
Take a look at L.A.
From the sky
What you see
Should make you cry

Chorus

Iīm the scum of the Earth...
Iīm a cancer...
I am humanity...



10. Iīm Not The Only One


What if I could say to you
Of what you wanted
Would not do
What if I could say
Say to you
Of what you wanted
Of what you could do

What you want
Is something you need
And what youīve wanted
Is something I bleed
Could you say to me you love me
And Iīm the only one
Could you say to me you love me
That Iīm your man

Is this the last time Iīll ever see you
Is this the last time Iīll ever meet you
Is this the last Iīll ever make love to you
You

Yeah
What did you say girl
Iīm not the only one
What did you say girl
Iīm not the only one
Huh
Huh
Huh
Huh...



11. Miss Blue


Could you stay long enough for me to say goodbye
You can be free as long as youīre with me
If you could see the real me youīd bleed
If you could see the real me Iīd breathe
Could you still breathe long enough for me
Could you still be long enough for me

When do you think Iīll be okay
When do you think Iīll be okay

If I should stay when do I pray
If I should stay where do I begin
Do you think I should watch you die
Should we close our eyes and say goodbye

Hey you Miss Blue
You think that Iīm well to do
Hey you Miss Blue
I fell in love with you
Hey you Miss Blue
I think about you as true
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you cry
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you say goodbye
Hey you Miss Blue
I hate it when you say goodbye

You say goodbye
You say goodbye yeah
Donīt say goodbye
Say goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye...
