Look At Me

Look at me, this feels great
Memory to anticipate
See the world through my Retina screen
Need to Photoshop every scene
I don’t miss the experience
Take the vid snap the pic
I’m delirious
While you live, I drop out
While you forgive, I edit it out
Look at me I’m happy
Look at me I’m sad
Look at me I’m lonely
Look at me I’m mad
Advertise to monetize
Digitize and symbolize
Synthesize to hypnotize
They sanitize, individualize
Victimize and stigmatize
You criticize, immunize
Politicize to legitimize
We civilize and terrorize
Look at me I’m happy
Look at me I’m sad
Look at me I’m angry
Look at me I’m mad
Look at me I’m happy
Look at me I’m sad
Look at me I’m lonely
Look at me I’m mad
Look at me I’m happy
Look at me I’m sad
Look at me I’m angry
Look at me I’m mad

Get lost in the waves tonight
Get stolen in the second sight
Get high in the places bright
Get saved in the terabyte
There’s nothing in the neon light
There’s nothing in the cold twilight
There’s nothing in your clever fight
There’s nothing left in your delight

My Little Scarlet

My little scarlet is looking good
Abandoned at birth and misunderstood
My little scarlet invites me in
Here where she lies it’s never a sin
My little scarlet girl of my dreams
I can see her dew flush against her seam
My little scarlet wants to take my hand
Deep inside it’s always her plan
My little scarlet frames her face
But who pays for all her satin and lace
My little scarlet is a girl of the times
It costs so much to read between the lines
Look at me is what she’s saying
But you look too long you better start paying
Her clothes come off so casually
But nothing’s free in the fantasy
My little scarlet she looks so fine
The way she moves’ll make you lose your mind
My little scarlet run away with me
I’ve been yours so long it’s time I made you mine
My little scarlet she twists and turns
Shine so bright careful it burns
My little scarlet is your scarlet too
If the price is right nothing she won’t do
My little scarlet still has welts
From where daddy beat her with his bible belt
My little scarlet she don’t complain
Unless you make it from her pain
Look at me is what she’s saying
But you look too long you better start paying
Her clothes come off so casually
But nothing’s free in the fantasy
My little scarlet she looks so fine
The way she moves’ll make you lose your mind
My little scarlet run away with me
I’ve been yours so long it’s time I made you mine

Hurt Like Hell
04:26
|

I’ll take a drink and wash it down
I’ll follow all my troubles where you can’t be found
I’ll have another I won’t deny
My addiction runs deep and I think you know why
I’ll take a hit just one more taste
Then I’ll find a pretty girl and she’ll have your face
I’ll do all the things that we used to do
But I’ll do them much better alone in spite of you
I know all your lies too well
And I know about the things you go out and do
I know this will hurt like hell
But being alone hurts less than being with you
I wanna wake up from this dream
The nightmares come fast from your hate machine
I guess that I’ve always known
To tell you the truth I’d rather be alone
I know all your lies too well
And I know about the people you go out and screw
I know this will hurt like hell
But being alone hurts less than being with you

If Only

If only you could touch me
If only I were not so far
If only you could see me
If only I could know who you really are
If only I could hold you
If only you were here
If only I could kiss you
If only your heart were not so full of fear
If only you could trust me
If only I was chosen
If only you could love me
If only I were not so utterly broken
If only I could feel you
If only you weren’t hyperbole
If only I could keep you
If only you were not just some little fantasy

Good morning your honor
I’m today’s collar
Mystery plays before the fall
One word from you can make it all
I think you’d rather have me crawl
One word from you can take it all
My judge and jurors as you can see
I’m everything you want me to be
I’m everything you want me to be
I’m everything you need me to be
I’m everything you want me to be
I’m everything you need me to be
I am what you say
Devil horns and all

Under The Influence

Hello, thanks for the add
Look around we like to pretend
Sculpted body, perfect hair, drive a new Maserati
Meet my supermodel girlfriend
Tried this, sponsored that
Everyone’s for sale, yeah even the cat
All it takes is cold hard cash
Spread the word, get the likes is where it’s at
Don’t know what I do
But do what I say and they’ll give it to you
Don’t know what I am
But if you act like me you’re a part of the scam
Stranded in a commercial
For a party that never was
Don’t bother begging for rescue
Guess you didn’t read the arbitration clause
Don’t know what I do
But do what I say and they’ll give it to you
Don’t know what I am
But if you act like me you’re a part of the scam
Everything you want to be
Just the shell that’s all you see
No soul, sold it out
I’m empty inside but everybody loves me
Don’t know what I do
But do what I say and they’ll give it to you
Don’t know what I am
But if you act like me you’re a part of the scam

Some say it’s not real
Some say it’s not true
The times we’re apart
All the times with you
Tear me down and bring me up
Wrap me in your sheet
It’s just us here in the last refuge
Of the broken and the meek
Many have come and many will go
I loved them too
But all I am and all I need
Is here with you
