—— room 93

• i'm sorry but i fell in love tonight / i didn't mean to fall in love tonight / you're looking like you fell in love tonight / could we pretend that we're in love?

—— badlands

• your laugh echoes down the highway / carves into my hollow chest, spreads over the emptiness / it's bliss / it's so simple but we can't stay / over analyze again, would it really kill you if we kissed?
• i'm a wanderess, i'm a one night stand / don't belong to no city, don't belong to no man / i'm the violence in the pouring rain / i'm a hurricane
• and i remember the fear in your eyes / the very first time we snuck into the city pool / late december, with my heart in my chest / and the clouds of my breath / didn't know what we were running to / but don't look back
• you were a vision in the morning when the light came through / i know i've only felt religion when i've lied with you
• and all the people say / "you can't wake up, this is not a dream / you're part of a machine, you are not a human being / with your face all made up, living on a screen / low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline"
• and i've grown familiar with the villains that live in my head / they beg me to write them so i'll never die when i'm dead

—— hopeless fountain kingdom

• i run away when things are good / and never really understood / the way you laid your eyes on me / in ways that no one ever could / and so it seems i broke your heart / my ignorance has struck again / i failed to see it from the start / and tore you open 'till the end
• i won't let us finish yet / please don't take this as a threat / all i'm sayin' is if you don't love me no more, then / lie
• we're not lovers, we're just strangers / with the same damn hunger / to be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all
• i used to be a darling starlet like a centerpiece / had the whole world wrapped around my ring / i flew too closely to the sun that's setting in the east / and now i'm melting from my wings
• 'cause you know that the truth hurts, but secrets kill / can't help thinkin' that i love it still / still here, there must be something real / 'cause you know the good die young, but so did this / and so it must be better than i think it is

—— maniac

• took my heart and sold it out to a vision that i wrote myself / and i don't wanna be somebody in america just fighting the hysteria / i only wanna die some days
• now, if i figure this out / apart from my beating hear / it's a muscle, but it's still not strong enough to carry the / weight of the choices i've made / i told you i'd ride this out / it's getting harder every day
• it's crazy when / the thing you love the most is the detriment / let that sink in / you can think again / when the hand you wanna hold is the weapon and / you're nothing but skin
• if i could make you love me / maybe you could make me love me / and if i can't make you love me / then i'll just hate everybody
• i'll take fake moans and dial tones / let 'em spill right down the microphone / i need it digital 'cause, baby, when it's physical / i end up alone
• and i wonder if it goes too far to say / i've never recognized a purer face / you stopped me in my tracks and put me right in my place / used to think that loving meant a painful chase / but you're right here now and i think you'll stay
• wonder will we ever meet? / and would you know it right away / how hard i tried to see your face? / a little screen, a photograph, mine to take

—— if i can't have love, i want power

• but jesus, you've got better lips than judas / i could keep your bed warm, otherwise, i'm useless / i don't really mean it 'cause who the fuck would choose this?
• i'm only whatever you make me / and you make me more and more a villain every day / but you don't know, you reap, you sow / whatever you give to me, from yourself, you take / well, if you're a hater, then hate the creator / it's in your image i'm made
• i sleep with one eye open and one eye closed / 'cause i'll hang myself if you give me rope
• i want my cake on a silver platter / i want a fistful in my hands / i want a beautiful boy's despondent laughter / i wanna ruin all my plans / i want a fist around my throat / i wanna cry so hard, i choke / i want everything i asked for
• never knew the feelin' of a stable home / been a couple years of livin' on the road / couldn't really tell you where they'd leave a stone / to visit me when i am dead and gone
• until it's time to see the light / i'll make my own with you each night / i'll kidnap all the stars and i will keep them in your eyes
• she was sweet like honey / but all i can taste is the blood in my mouth / and the bitterness in goodbye
• i am not a woman, i'm a god / i am not a martyr, i'm a problem / i am not a legend, i'm a fraud / so keep your heart 'cause i already got one
• and i'm glad i met the devil 'cause he showed me i was weak / and a little piece of him is in a little piece of me
• 'cause the moon don't pick sides / and the sun won't resign / until you're by my side
• i think we could live forever / in each other's faces 'cause i'll / always see my youth in you / and if we don't live forever / maybe one day, we'll trade places / darling, you will bury me / before i bury you
• but what's worse? / tellin' you my feelings / or to die without revealing / that you crawled inside my head / and set a fire there instead?
