What We Want

you flattened your addiction
like a penny on the tracks
but you were too strung out to notice
that other monkey on your back
you went looking for your edges
some new country to explore
but when he stepped across your borders
you didn’t wanna play anymore
you don’t know what you want
so why would you assume
that he could give it to you?
i couldn’t give it to you
he doesn’t know who you are
or what you’re willing to do
what you’re trying to prove
who you’re trying to fool
not like I do
not like I do
i didn’t want to change you
but I couldn’t let you be yourself
so I gave you what you needed
to become somebody else
when you occupy your mirror
are you looking for some love
for the little girl inside you
who’s still afraid of growing up?
you don’t know what you want
so why would you assume
that he could give it to you?
i couldn’t give it to you
he doesn’t know who you are
or what you’re willing to do
what you’re trying to prove
who you’re trying to fool
not like I do
not like I do

It Crawls

The sickness does not stab or cut, it crawls like a vine
It climbs like ivy over your spine
It creeps into the crevices and flaws of your mind
and whispers, "Baby, everything’s fine."
And by the light of morning, you are brave, you are clean
Your nighttime self is something obscene
But by the time the sun goes down, your hand's in the jar
And once again you know what you are
You could give up any time
But you don't, no you don't
You could let go of the line
But you won't, no you won't
You could read the warning signs
But you don’t, no you don’t
No you don't
And when you've finally made up your mind to reform
Your back is weak, your tendons are torn
You tell yourself that this time, you’ll be strong, you’ll resist
But the sickness has to insist
You could give up any time
But you don't, no you don't
You could let go of the line
But you won't, no you won't
You could read the warning signs
But you don’t, no you don’t
No you don't
No you don't
No you don't
No you don't

A Couple Hours More

i’ve made it clear enough now, haven’t i?
i’m not the knight in shining armor kinda guy
but you survive on bread and fantasies
you know you want it but you don’t know what it means
you live on books and movie screens
the golden rule does not apply to you
what would you have me do unto you?
i don’t want to hurt you
but part of me wants to give you more
than you’re asking for
you want me to hurt you
as long as i don’t desert you for
a couple hours more
a couple hours more
we both know how this song is gonna end
we’ll burn our bridges and our chance of being friends
we’ve both been damaged, both been disabused
of our illusions, we both know we’re being used
we both know that someone has to lose
what the hell am i supposed to do?
what madness are you driving me to?
i don’t want to hurt you
but part of me wants to hurt you more
and settle that score
you want me to hurt you
as long as i don’t desert you for
a couple hours more
watch me pervert you
you’re my prey, i’m your carnivore
human no more
i’m dying to hurt you
and shred this facade of virtue for
a couple hours more
a couple moments more

Curtains

remember me as i was then
i drew a picture on your skin
i made you laugh, i drew you in
back when i was well
when i had jokes to tell
before the curtains fell
for me
for me
remember when it didn’t hurt?
i slid my hand right up your skirt
and everything was looking up
back before the pills
before the doctor’s bills
the fevers and the chills
found me
found me
remember me as i was then
i drew a picture on your skin
i made you laugh, i drew you in
back when i was well
when i had jokes to tell
before the curtains fell
for me
for me
