I won't, I won't, I won't
Cover the scars
I'll let 'em bleed
So my silence
So my silence won't
Be mistaken for peace
Am I wrong for wanting us to make it?
Tell me your lies
Because I just can't face it
I won't, I won't, I won't
Cover the scars
I'll let 'em bleed
So my silence
So my silence won't
Be mistaken for peace
Am I wrong for wanting us to make it?
Tell me your lies
Because I just can't face it
Chronic "grass is always greener" syndrome
I got shot with the sweetest gun
I have it all, all in one
No broken hearts, no bad romance
Why should I love when I can have fun
I've never made it with moderation
No, I've never understood
All the feeling was all or nothing
And I took everything I could
Can't hold it back, I can't take the tension
Oh, I'm trying to be good
Want me to love you in moderation
Well, don't you know, I wish I could
I get by
One eye in the sky
But I can't put my finger on it
I wanna cry, I'm out of my mind
Tryna figure it out
Moderation
I can't have it
I don't want it
I wanna touch it
The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
'Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Standing on the front stoop, hanging out the window
Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow
A crazy lady livin' in a bag
Eating out of garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
A zircon princess, seemed to lost her senses
Down at the peep show watching all the creeps
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got so, so saditty
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

I am the voice inside your head (and I control you)
I am the lover in your bed (and I control you)
I am the sex that you provide (and I control you)
I am the hate you try to hide (and I control you)
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
I speak religion's message clear (and I control you)
I am denial guilt and fear (and I control you)
I am the prayers of the naive (and I control you)
I am the lie that you believe (and I control you)
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
You let me do this to you (I am the exit)
I am the needle in your vein
I am the high you can't sustain
I am the pusher, I'm a whore
I am the need you have for more
I am the bullet in the gun (and I control you)
I am the truth from which you run (and I control you)
I am the silencing machine (and I control you)
I am the end of all your dreams (and I control you)
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down, I use you up
Mr. Self Destruct
Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!
-Raskolnikov
To forget you is to hide, there's still so much left to recover
If only we could start again, pretending we don't know each other
I could not come back the same, this city's changed
It's not what it was back when you loved me
Walking down that path we made when we thought
What we had was such a good thing
Hiding out inside my head, it's me again, it's no surprise I'm on my own now
Every time I turn to you, I see the past
It's all that lasts and all I know how
Learn to look me in the eyes
Yet I still don't feel it's me you're facing
Say your heart is always mine, what about old times, you can't erase them

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's it working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I've come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone
I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know go hard!
Won't forget how I got this far
I am not afraid of the storm that comes my way
When it hits it shakes me to the core
And makes me stronger than before
It's not a question about trust
but will you stand with us
Can you feel it, make it real?
I think it might wash away tonight
Awaken from this never ending fight
It takes more than meets the eye
This war we're fighting it's not just rotting
There's a rumble in the floor
So get prepared for war
When it hits it'll knock you to the ground
When it shakes up everything around
But survival is a must
So will you stand with us
Can you feel it, make it real
Make me feel it
So messed up, I want you here.
In my room, I want you here.

To be words spit in a mic
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress

Couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give

We fell in love, I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole million man's soul an faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politnesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Aah yeah
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!
-Raskolnikov
I don't believe in the existence of mercy's guiding hand
Not with all that I have witnessed, I cannot understand
I will walk this ground forever
And stand guard against your name
I will give all I can offer
I will shoulder all the blame
I am sentry to you now
All your hopes and all your dreams
I will hold you to the light
That's what forever means

A dazzling ocean ; a sinking firefly
Denial is a lie born of desire
Body heat dyed in a contradiction
Loving that defies reason
Dancing I melt into youth, and unexpectedly
Filth

On a night when soft clouds lightly hid the moon
I somehow wandered into a small, dusty room
Candlelight...growing closer, farther, then closer again
My burning heart...that heart is the same in its clumsiness
Gently fluttering down
I spread my wings by your side
"I want to see the same world"
Such a sentiment was shown through a gaze
When I touched the tip of that finger
Inexplicably, I became very warm
I don't know how long we spent together in the cold room
With a tearful face, you looked at me, who could not fly
"If I could, I would wish to forget..."
That is both the first and last lie
Warmly wrapped in your hands, I close my eyes
The flowers of snow that cover the sky are lonely flowing drops
You taught me kind feelings
You taught me sad feelings
That is more important than anything
And I won't forget
Someday, if we meet again
Surely, I'll spread my wings by your side
This is the imposthume of much wealth and peace, That inward breaks, and shows no cause without Why the man dies.
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (Hold your ground)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)

Everybody's thinkin' 'bout all the things they're missin' out
Wastin' time lookin' back
Actin' like they live it up when it's really just a front
How funny is that?
If you wait, I'll wait
I'll call you when it's goin' down
Stayin' up late
Waitin' by the telephone
If this is it, it's a swing and a miss (Yeah, yeah)x3
Nobody said you could fit it all in (Yeah, yeah)
You'll lose the moment like you're not here
Baby, you can't blink, you won't miss it, my dear
You act like missin' out is your only fear
You didn't miss shit, let me make that clear
Bound upon me, rush upon me, I will overcome you by enduring your onset: whatever strikes against that which is firm and unconquerable merely injures itself by its own violence. Wherefore, seek some soft and yielding object to pierce with your darts.

@EIE, did you make this up? It sounds like it.
It reminds me of a song my buddy used to sing when he was drunk.
"I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still.
Ah doo, run, run, run, a doo run run.
She said she wouldn't fuck me but her sister will.
Ah doo, run, run, run, a doo, run run."
Sorry, @Monanarchy, it was a 2D Se error, written before I'd had any coffee this morning. I apologize for not paying closer attention.
This city drains me,
Maybe it's the smell of gasoline.
The millions pain me,
It's easier to talk to my PC.
Lie
Never one and the same
Here’s my crutch, I’m in need of her system
I’m marginally obsessed with the way I present myself
I overreact ‘cause that’s how I roll
I been’ told I am hysterical
Oops ! I’m Armageddon’s son
Hold your resentment while I bust this out
She’ requesting my submission, and we all know how this one ends
I’m proud to have been given a chance to entertain you
Lest I’m enslaved to the pain of my confidence
I was in it only to help you out
Lie in the danger or save my life?
I envision a world where my choices are mine
-Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain
I could drown in my confidence
It don’t take much—just a pinch of resistance
I’m open to suggestions on how I should get it done
Don’t overreact
This is how it goes: Ima’ break through the linoleum
-Hope she doesn’t hear a sound
Hold your resentment while I dig me out to define my new existence
And my boy knows the outcome
That little prick likes to parry my thoughts
You know why ?
‘Cause he’s a coward and a hypocrite !
I shot two bullets in the wall
Just stand between the eyes of God, to let him see
Let him weep at the construct he cast aside
And I’m over it ‘cause I been’ feeling so confident!
I was in it only to help you out
Lie in the danger or save my life?
I envision a world where my choices are mine
-Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain
I could drown in my confidence
Lobifu, can you clarify it? O’ Lobifu!
Just let me prove that it was you, Lobifu!
When she comes, we will surrender to her, Lobifu
‘Cause we been’ part of the problem
Just let me prove it was you, Lobifu
Just let me prove it was you, Lobifu
Just let me prove it was you, Lobifu
Just let me prove !
I was in it only to help you out
Lie in the danger or save my life?
Here’s my crutch, I’m in need of her system
I’m marginally obsessed with the way I present myself
I overreact ‘cause that’s how I roll
I been’ told I am hysterical
Oops ! I’m Armageddon’s son
Ugh, my agenda is to bust me out !
She’ requesting my submission, and we all know how this one ends
Got one foot in the door to entertainment
-Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain
Never one and the same—overconfidence

The ancient egyptians postulated seven souls
Top soul, and the first to leave at the moment of death, is Ren, the secret name
This corresponds to my director
He directs the film of your life from conception to death
The secret name is the title of your film
When you die, that's where Ren came in

I watched with glee as your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Je me tire, ne me demande pas pourquoi je suis parti sans motif
Parfois je sens mon cœur qui s'endurcit
C'est triste à dire mais plus rien ne m'attriste
Laisse-moi partir loin d'ici
Pour garder le sourire, je me disais que y'a pire
Si c'est comme ça, bah fuck la vie d'artiste
Je sais que ça fait cliché de dire qu'on est pris pour cible
Mais je veux le dire juste pour la rime
Si je reste, les gens me fuiront sûrement comme la peste
Vos interviews m'ont donné trop de maux de tête
La vérité c'est que je me auto-déteste
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all, that's what it is
To be a rock and not to roll, oh yeah
My translation of Fantasy Mythology by Yousei Teikoku (aka that song from Future Diary)
[Intro]
You'll surrender now, we are sure of what we see
Thee can't resist this FANTASY!
Survive!
[Bridge]
Consentes Dii, Juno, Jupiter,
Minerva, Apollo, Mars, Ceres,
Mercury, Diana, Bacchus,
Vulcanus, Pluto, Vesta, Venus
[Verse 1]
Eyes flutter
In the abyss of slumber
Old gods quietly smile
And deal out death
Chains of fate connecting space and time
Begin to tangle
[Pre-Chorus]
A gift from the gods
A fantasy program
[Chorus]
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! They pile up
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! Exchanging death
Stealing the miracle of
A longing for the courage to live and die
Survival game!
Like a spiral
[Bridge]
Consentes Dii, Juno, Jupiter,
Minerva, Apollo, Mars, Ceres,
Mercury, Diana, Bacchus,
Vulcanus, Pluto, Vesta, Venus
[Verse 2]
Effervescent futures
So that they are overwritten
The noise of reincarnation
Connecting fantasies resounds
Time warps and the order
Of fate crumbles
[Pre-Chorus]
A gift from the gods
A succession program
[Chorus]
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! Becoming one
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! Evade death
Challenging the miracle
That opposes the extinction game
Eraser game!
Like a vision
[Pre-Chorus]
A gift from the gods
A fantasy program
[Chorus]
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! They pile up
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! Exchanging death
Eins, zwei, drei! Becoming one
Yeah, eins, zwei, drei! Evade death
Stealing the miracle of
A longing for the courage to live and die
Survival game!
Like a spiral
[Outro]
Pitiful bystander
Farther than the death you yearn for
In a garden at the edge of the world
You believe in
An endless miracle

I need my golden crown of sorrow
My bloody sword to swing
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
Don't waste your time or time will waste you.
