You tricked me and you licked me
And you made me believe
That you cared, you’d be there
You only wanted the best for me
But you slipped, and you fell
You couldn’t stop so you just let go
Yeah you lied, tried to hide
I found out and now I know that…
Everything I hate about myself I got from you
I should have known not to trust
The one who taught me to lie
You’re a betrayer and a destroyer
You never want to look inside
You’re so proud you say it aloud
But you deserve no credit here
And you brag “Look what I made!”
Your love is so insincere
Everything I hate about myself I got from you
Every time, the same line, you say
“What? Was I doing something wrong?”
You even blew your one last chance when you said
“I’m not the one who has a problem, you’re the one who has a problem”
Everything I hate about myself I got from you
Your ignorance and malice, you gave me that too
Everything I hate about myself I got from you
And you don’t even know
Shipwrecker!
Yeah, we gotta start war now

Cuts Like a Knife

I never wrote you any love songs
Except the one I’m singing now
And you know I’d sing it to your face
If you were standing in the crowd
You peeled back my skin
Revealed a mess of doubt
I thought that I knew myself
But then I found out
Your love cuts like a knife
You never told me your secrets
But I guess that’s alright
Yeah I guess I understand
Cause when you tried to open up to me
You know I went home and cut myself
And though I used the big knife
It wasn’t as sharp
No, it wasn’t as deep
As you cut into my heart
Your love cuts like a knife
Yeah you cut right through me
Yeah you split me in two
If I couldn’t live with myself
How could I live with you?
So if someday you forgive me
And open up the door
I know that we could be perfect
Because I’m finally all the things you wanted
When you thought I was what you wanted

Rise Above
04:26

You can’t get inside the way I feel
You can’t recognize the fake next to the real
Now you think you know it all, you got it all figured out
You only listen to reason in your moments of doubt
I’ve tasted pain and I’ve tasted love and I can’t believe you can’t rise above
Your face, your tate, your pace command
My gaze, my phrase, spills into your hands
But now you think you own it all, it all belongs to you
Play along and dance the song, there’s nothing I can do
I’ve tasted pain and I’ve tasted love and I can’t believe you can’t rise above
And you know I’m right so you push me away
Cause if you let me inside that’s where I’d stay

When we first met you were all set but me, I was a wreck
You picked me up and cleaned me up and taught me self-respect
Made a mistake but didn't break because I need you so
It fell apart but in our heart you know we can't let go
No no
We can't let go
A second chance for our romance but I slipped up again
Kept it inside I had to lie so that we could sustain
You got to close to hide the truth and so you had to know
And now you leave me but believe me I just can't let go
No no
I can't let go
Someday I'm gonna have you
Someday you'll be mine, I know it
Someday we'll be together
Someday you'll be mine
But now all I have is time
Can't let go
No no
I can't, can't let go

Vengeance
05:23

It started such a long time ago
A child’s fists begin to grow
He learned about peace and he learned about war
And he learned that some things are worth fighting for
I got adrenaline rush
I got the urge to crush
I got my clenched fist
I got vengeance
I got a rebel’s tryst
I got your head in a twist
I got my clenched fist
I got vengeance
With stronger hands now he’s a man
His fists utilitarian
He learned about truth and he learned about lies
And he’s picking on someone his own size
Twenty-five years suppressed
The clenched fist wakens from its rest
Well you’re full of lies and your full of shit
And now your face is full of my fist
I got adrenaline rush
I got the urge to crush
I got my clenched fist
I got vengeance
I got a rebel’s tryst
I got your head in a twist
I got my clenched fist
I got vengeance
I got fists of steel
I got rage appeal
I got vengeance
I got a fury storm
I got your face to reform
I got vengeance
I got arms of rage
I got a war to wage
I got vengeance
I got my clenched fist
I got my clenched fist
I got my clenched fist
I got vengeance

Darker Always Darker

Never light, always dark
Always feeling torn apart
Never good enough for you
Never sure what you want me to do
Never happy, always cross
Never a win, always a loss
Never sure what to say
To get you to go away
Never up, always down
Always sink, always drown
I’ll never be what I should
You know I’d stop this if I could
Darker, always darker
Once again I’m alone
I never feel at home
Always weak, never strong
Never sure where I belong
Fade to white, gray to black
On defence from your attack
Never weak, never a crack
Always a fight but I can’t fight back
Darker, always darker
Never light, always dark
Always feeling torn apart
Never good enough for you
Never sure what you want me to do
Darker, always darker

I thought I was cool but you’re cooler than me
I thought that I was stable but you threw me off key
I thought I knew it all but you taught me so much
I thought I had the magic but it's in your touch
You turned me upside down and it’s not like I planned
Cause now I’m lying on the floor with a knife in my hand
You turned me inside out, I’m a mess of doubt
I thought I knew myself but I guess I didn’t understand
I thought I had it all but you said less is more
So I gave it all away like I should have before
And now I didn’t finish this verse cause I’ve got nothing to say
I’d rather use my tongue to lick you
You turned me upside down and it’s not like I planned
Cause now I’m lying on the floor with a knife in my hand
You turned me inside out, I’m a mess of doubt
I thought I knew myself but I guess I didn’t understand
I thought you were cool but now I’m cooler than you
You were always stable but now I’m stable too
I thought you could be together but now I’ve lost you forever
And there’s nothing I can do to make this any better

WOW this album grew on me fast. My favorite track changes frequently. Step into the Sunshine is brilliantly sinister, Memory disappears beautiful and melancholy. Right now Rare Bird is an amazing unicorn chaser.
