Norma Jean

difference between you and me
You cleaned the outside of your chalice but it's filled with robbery
And self indulgence...Just like the rest of us
You wear that cross like a crown. You wear that cross like a dagger
Come down from that tower,
Nothing will be the outcome.
Nothing is the outcome


2. Self Employed Chemist

It's like you know the words but you can't hear the music
You've lived a lie for so long, now you believe it
You're shooting silver bullets and taking magic pills
I'm asking you, do you know a way to delete my conscience?
Don't put your ear to the floor to hear the sound of the future
Yours is a history shaped by disaster
We're coming back for you. You better brace yourself
I'm telling you, we're coming back
To collect that killer who killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up or you holding me down? [x2]
We make the same mistakes, we always count them
I want to fail you so badly.
I'm telling you, we're coming back to collect that killer
What if I have to lose? What if I have to suffer?
So what if I have to lose? So what if I have to suffer?


3. Birth Of The Anti Mother

From the bloodline of vicious serpents
A dreadful heart within a lovely shell
A demon's heart, but with the face of God
I guess a liar's heart is still true even if her lips are not
The vomit that flows out from your mouth has seeped into your chest
Searching for the strength to breathe in one last lie from you
But right now the grave seems so much easier
The fear of that devil in me... it comes from you.
You're like the smoke in the window
She comes for sorrow.
She comes for lies
We came here for blood. Did you? Yes or no?
No one's getting out because we came for blood
We're not breathing and I don't care
Because no one's breathing... she's not breathing.
Choke that witch out.
Suffocate her.
Choke her out.


4. Robots 3 Humans 0

Open that door: I'll follow you into that space
Where nothing is regretted then forgotten
Where is that grace that carries me out? So strange it's mine
It's closed and locked, but if you open that door,
It won't be yesterday when, before the day of collapsing
And I'll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you
Can you help me every step of the way?
We can bury that battle and bury the cause
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time
Everyone knows cause they see the glare in our eyes
Careful now, don't drown yourself in sorrow
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down.
And now I'll carry on till it's over... and it's over


5. Death Of The Anti Mother

I hope you burn forever
There will be no other way
No more suffering
No more trust will be lost
No more wounded
No more blood will be shed
Just know, I mean to harm you
I want to see you choking and kicking in your own blood
We all have our own person hells
I just hope yours burns brighter
Deception has been your right hand
Confusing the sight of my left
You won't leave the way you came and now no more blood will be shed
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn


6. Surrender The Sons

Your pale skin is a razor sharp wire so I place these scales over my eyes
Don't touch me.
I'm sick.
You whisper,
But I hear only what I choose.
Hello my good old friend.
Your hand pulls me back from that
Mire or will I look back and stare and wonder if she is way back there
Afterwards my mouth will be filled with gravel and I'm left alone
You know that feeling of fear and desperation in the pit
Of your stomach making you nauseous
Excitement apprehension you wish you could lose it all
When your head spins and your stomach swells
The fear of dealing with this is stronger than the fear of just
Forgetting this and future I am scared of you
I swear I'll find my way back to the light now that I'm left alone


7. Murphy Was An Optimist

Light that fuse, back up three steps and bite down on that bullet.
You've been doing this way too long and it can't be fixed.
Don't worry it can't be fixed so pull up that chair and suck down that trouble
Misery is the fuel that keeps this broken down, lifeless instrument running
I'm sinking in cursory and I'm sinking headfirst
Clear your dusty throat and taste that stiletto
Can you taste that metal?
Don't worry it can't be fixed.
Don't worry it can't be fixed so don't worry
Light that fuse, back up three steps and sink without trace
Hold me down till I stop crying.
I don't want to feel this anymore
Hold you down cause you're not trying.
I don't want to feel this anymore
I don't want to kill you anymore.
Is this what you were designed for?
Did you think you had it coming? Hell follows with you


8. Opposite Of Left And Wrong

Dedication is nothing but a word.
What have we become?
We become the things we do.
When does it end?
Argument is the enemy.
You've said one hundred opposites of left and wrong
So tell me what's right, not what's wrong.
I don't care anymore.
I'm drained from the struggle.
Argument is the enemy.
I don't care anymore: I'm giving this up
You can fight your way through this graveyard
There is no rehab for your power addiction and
I've had all the freedom that I can stand
Tell me what's right


9. ...Discipline Your Daughters

I can't recall that last day of sun
Curtains closed and sitting with the lights out
An uncertain emptiness surrounds me
I'm numb and my judgments have switched to autopilot
Nothing left but echoes and thoughts of moving on
Don't stay away but don't stay here.
Tell me all your secrets
I promise I'll be listening, and if you ever come back home I'll be waiting patiently
Tell me nothing sacred. I promise I won't hear a word, and if you ever come back home
I won't act so patiently
Black feathers and an unannounced call.
These things go hand in hand, like talking to you and the intake of glass
I hope this knife in my hand speaks for itself...
She's not coming back


10. And There Will Be A Swarm Of Hornets

I built this destruction with my own hands and with my hands I will help pull it down.
And like the worker bees, silenced by that swarm I'll make a new home
String me up, just leave me here and I'll find my way back home I swear
These are not the plans I made.
This is not the life I wanted
I don't care.
Pull it down.
With broken bones and vital organs far from functional,
I am ruined.
Pull me down and I'll find my way back home I swear.
What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself.
We know what we have to do.
We're not going anywhere!
With blood stained glasses staring straight at me and just careless
With that lidless gaze I am ruined.
I need to be saved.
Pick me up and I'll find my way back home I swear
