I am the gateway/
To a place you don't/
Want to acknowledge/
But your denial doesn't/
Make it not exist/

I am a broken mirror/
Held up to your face, and/
With no eyelids, we will see/
What you really are/

I am a reminder/
Of your constant failure/
And that's why you hate me/
You don't want to see yourself/

I am the knowledge/
That there is no escape/
You don't know how or when/
But it is going to get you.../
Eventually, and then/
You're gonna have to explain/
EVERYTHING/
What will you say/
When you can no longer lie?/

I am the thorn/
That came from a crown/
Stabbed you in the side, then/
Refused to come out/

I am the eye/
That looked right through you/
And knew all your secrets/
I am the shame/

I AM THE FINGER/
POINTING IN YOUR DIRECTION/
I AM THE WITNESS/
YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION/
I AM THE MESS THAT/
YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH/
I AM THE PAIN THAT/
YOU CAN'T MAKE A DEAL WITH./

Sighmaster/
Used to be human/
Before the reoccurring/
I had a dream.../

Forgot it when I woke/
Uphill battle/
I get down by jumping off/
Hit the ground running/
My mouth is tired/
Feed the motor rocks/
Bust it!/

I talk like a stoner/
Walk like destruction/
Things fall apart/
As soon as I touch them/
Tortured soul artist/
Thinking is abstract/
Live like a ***/
And always feel crap/
In the deep end/
Good-for-nothing hollowman/
Looking like a castaway/
Dressing like it's Halloween/
Washed up/
Sleeping in castles made of sand/
Shipwreck in a bottlerocket/
Over your head!/

Nobody cares/
Don't expect nothing from no-one/
Except Allaah/
Who doesn't break His promise/
People shouldn't ****/
If they don't want to get hated/
On my nerves like a jackhammer/
Snap like a mousetrap/
Replica of my life/
Just to watch myself watch myself/
Awareness is a car crash/
Broken body alarm clock/
Woke, without enough sleep/
Feet in my back/
Elephant eyelash in the public eye/
Embarrassment is DEAD./

Unrepentant ******, even right now/
I'm trying too hard to be an Arab/
Forever discontent to be white/
I don't wanna be a devil... worshipper/

Deathmetal mullet ****-your-mother ****/
Blast from the past/
Different is the new nuclear/
Witchcraft is cool, but Islaam is a hot coal/
Gay is OK, but straight edge is difficult/
Medication everywhere/
Jagged little pills.../

MOST PEOPLE ARE PIGS/
MOST PEOPLE ARE PIGS/
MOST PEOPLE ARE PIGS/
I'M A PERSON... OF DISINTEREST/

I don't care, all eyez on me/
Against the world/
Stab my back if there's still space/
Calm down, ******/
Napoleon Dynamite sigh/
I don't wanna be a black... magician/

Rad organic misanthrope/
Sicko./

Stomping on eggshells/
Cracked hardware, and crushed soul/
Laughing manically/
At all the misery you cause/

Sadclown, with a crown/
Made of black mirror/
Married to an angry headless chicken/

Trapped in a ****** birdcage/
With herds of woolly mammoth/
Heard the fourth wall shattering/
Hammerhead battleram/

Sorry for the breakthrough/
But that's... kinda the point/
Of no return; boiling finger cannon/

Automatic nailgun/
Clawing at the chalkboard/
Sonic boombox daily thunderclap/
Head explode/

Regenerate overnight/
"I Got You Babe" every morning/
Get up off the floor/
Just to hear her squawk again/

****!!!/
Still... could be worse/
My nose could be gushing blood/
And then everybody laughs/

Haha, mouthful of cartilage/
Vast facebite strictly psychological/
Moodswing kaleidoscope/
Take away one life at a time/
Bomb first/
Until they burst into a million coins/

*******/
Ice King with burning eyes/
Amplified octopus/
And yolk spills everywhere./

Hello Darkness, back again/
In fact, let's act like I never left/
Life is conflict: love/hate impulses/
Makes me feel like I'm punching an ocean/

Heartbroken, when nothing happened/
So lonely, with people around me/
Living in the past, but it doesn't exist... anymore/
It's a lie, plus my memories are distorted/

Tampered with; call me paranoid if you want/
Schizoid, in the middle of nowhere, going up.../
Side down: mirror image time lapse fast forward/
Falling through the puddle in reverse/

Just add water to the burnt-out pile of ashes/
Drown out the alchemical reaction/
Ghost in a town full of phantom menace/
And everyday's a "gone" day; born lethargic/

I am Slothman: only learn the hard way/
Searching soul found lurking in the shadows/
Children are my sunshine in the morning/
Vampyre, under a magnifying glass, without a coffin/

Bursting into flames; the inhuman torch/
Playing with fire... but scared to touch Hell, boy/
Sin is like a horn growing out the side of your skull/
Cutting it short leaves it unresolved/

And I don't know ****, but I know the smell/
The binge/purge cycle is manic-depressive purgatory/
Stuck on a seesaw, and when I get high/
Ground Control can kiss my asphalt/

Crash my relationships; stranded in a strange land/
Foreign language, and bad reception/
No settling down: still kicking up stardust/
Prison planet bar code cell phone hand cuff.../

AND I HATE THIS SHOW/
SHOOT THE CAMERA IN THE FACE/
FADE TO BLACK/
ELEPHANT INSIDE A BIRDCAGE./

Mundane/
My memories overlap/
So I don't know what I've done yet/
Or what I'm going to do when it happens/
Again for the first/
Time is a scratched disc/
Skipping through/
Time is a scratched disc/
Skipping through, yeah/
I've got some nerve/
Oldboy, with a broken tooth/
Limping like a ****, but... my left foot/
Not in my right mind/
In the wrong/
Time is a scratched disc/
Skipping through/
Chapters/
Again for the first/
Oldboy, with a broken tooth/
Limping like a ****, but... my left foot/
Not in my right mind/
In the wrong/
Time is a scratched disc/
Skipping through/
Chapters/
Again for the first/
Smack him in the face/
Always told myself that I'd do it/
But when I saw double/
I instantly knew I would become him/
Then forgot/
The future looks a lot like the past/
I'm not present anywhere/
Skipping through, yeah/
Time is a scratched disc/
Skipping through/
Chapters/
Again for the first/
Smack him in the face/
Always told myself that I'd do it/
But when I saw double/
I instantly knew I would become him/
Then forgot/
The future looks a lot like the past/
I'm not present anywhere/
Skipping through, yeah./
